SATURDAY, 26 SEPTEMBER 2026 – 6PM – LA SEINE MUSICALE
CONCERT → Beethoven’s Eroica, with David Fray (piano), Insula orchestra and Insula camerata, conducted by Laurence Equilbey. To launch the season in style, two Beethoven masterpieces: first the dazzling Emperor Concerto, where David Fray’s piano converses with the orchestra, then the Eroica Symphony, the work that tipped music into a new era: powerful, electric, full of drive. All performed by a double orchestra — Insula orchestra and its academy, Insula camerata — on period instruments, in the Auditorium of La Seine Musicale.
EXPERIENCE → After the concert, the evening continues: a relaxed post-show gathering to meet the musicians and discover their period instruments, followed by a cocktail to toast the start of the season together. The perfect chance to see behind the scenes.

This a cappella concert (with no instruments at all) brings together sacred pages by Tchaikovsky and Bruckner, performed by accentus, one of Europe’s finest vocal ensembles.
