Few people know that there was a women’s orchestra at Auschwitz as well as an orchestra composed of men …

The strictness of the conductors and a musical discipline worthy of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra prevented the male and female musicians from losing their minds and helped them deal with the horror, offering them a ‘haven of peace’ of sorts.

Following the accounts of two musicians (Anita Lasker-Wallfisch and Simon Laks), literally saved by music, pondering the capacity of the human being to be moved to tears by a melody and the next moment to commit the most horrific crimes, Emmanuelle Bertrand and Pascal Amoyel bring this incredible experience back to life, between humour and gravity, leaving us with a message emanating hope.

Have you ever dreamed of attending a piano lesson given by Chopin?

By decoding the little-known method written by Chopin and the testimonies of his rare pupils, Pascal Amoyel, himself of Franco-Polish descent, brings him back to life in an imaginary and moving dialogue...

Following the success of his previous one-man shows (Le Pianiste aux 50 doigts, Le Jour où j'ai rencontré Franz Liszt and Looking for Beethoven) in Paris, the rest of France and abroad, this season Pascal Amoyel presents his latest musical, Une leçon de piano avec Chopin: an expert, passionate and sensitive reading of Chopin's First Ballade as a musical treasure imagined and performed by the man who in 2010 was awarded the Grand Prix du Disque in Warsaw by the prestigious Société Chopin for his complete Nocturnes. As a privileged witness to this intimate transmission from master to pupil, the audience is transported by the music and storytelling of the great pianist and Victoire de la Musique winner. A must-see nugget! Find out more
