About
Echoing the ultra-famous Vienna New Year Concert, Paris has also had its Grand Christmas Concert for several years. This is an enchanted and warm-hearted musical event in keeping with the spirit of the season. Following in the wake of the success of previous years, two new performances are being offered at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées to bring the magic of the festive season to life in music to the strains of some of the most joyful masterpieces in the classical repertoire and the most beautiful Christmas carols.
