About
Mirroring the ultra-famous New Year Concert in Vienna, Paris now has its own Grand Christmas Concert – a warm and enchanting musical event full of seasonal cheer. After the success of previous editions, two new evenings have been scheduled at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées to bring the magic of the Christmas season to life in music to the rhythms of some of the most joyful masterpieces in the classical repertoire and favourite Christmas carols.
