05 62 27 49 30 http://onct.toulouse.fr/halle-aux-grains After having been a covered market for the grain trade since 1864, a sports hall in 1952, the Halle aux Grains, overlooking Place Dupuy , became a concert hall in 1974. That year, Michel Plasson, conductor of the Orchester du Capitole from 1968 to 2003, discovered the original appearance and acoustic virtues of this superb hexagonal building located in the city centre. At his request, the City of Toulouse will do everything possible to comfortably install the Orchester du Capitole at the Halle aux Grains, where it still resides today. This magical place can accommodate 2200 people seated all around the orchestra. In 1988, the town hall of Toulouse called upon architects, scenographers and acousticians in order to increase the comfort of the spectators, to improve the acoustics of the room and to increase the technical possibilities. Thanks to all these embellishments, the Halle aux Grains is considered one of the highest musical places in Europe. The Orchester National du Capitole performs there and records around a hundred discs with prestigious artists.
Jean-François Zygel shares “his” Schubert with us with the Orchester and the Chœur du Capitole: from the dramatic intensity of Unfinished Symphony to the fervor of choral works, passing through the warm intimacy of his chamber music and the fantasy of his own improvisations on the piano, a convivial “schubertiade” where the pianist-composer takes us to meet his friend Franz.
