About
Just like the famous Viennese New Year's Concert, Paris now has its own Grand Christmas Concert: a warm and magical musical event in the spirit of the end-of-year celebrations. After the success of the previous concerts, a new one is being organised at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées to bring the magic of the festive season to life in music, to the rhythm of the most delightful masterpieces of the classical repertoire and the most beautiful Christmas carols.
With the soprano Marie-Laure Garnier
Concert presented by Christian Morin
