Croq'Musique Sundays

Innovation of the 2026-2027 season dedicated to the youngest audiences, Croq'Musique Sundays are the fruit of a collaboration between École Normale de Musique de Paris and the association En rythme avec Croq'Musique.

Hosted by violinist and educator Solesne Loy, these Sundays, six during the season, will take the form of a series of thematic workshops allowing children aged 3 to 12 years old to set off in small groups to discover classical music in a participatory, playful, and hands-on way, based on listening, playing, handling, singing, and movement.

At the close of each of these days, a concert specially designed for children and open to all will offer the opportunity to hear renowned artists, notably composer Karol Beffa or cellist Edgar Moreau, but also to step onto the stage of Salle Cortot for budding young musicians who took part in the day's workshops!
