Paris concerts feature every style and genre of music you can imagine: classical concerts, opera, ballet, rock, jazz, pop, metal, rap, musical shows, indie, and electronic dance music, plus the latest emerging trends.
I love hearing live music, and I usually catch a few shows and concerts each week when I'm in Paris because there are so many choices and they're so convenient to get to - just walk or hop on the metro. Plus tickets cost less - often, much less - than they would in my U.S. city.
Live music in Paris takes place in a variety of memorable venues: classical concerts in historial churches, huge concert arenas, intimate jazz clubs, parks and outdoor stages, festivals, and iconic music halls and cabarets.
I especially enjoy Chrismas and New Year's concerts in Paris, and usually try to book one in the Eiffel Tower or Sainte Chapelle (or both) as well as a couple in the magnificent old churches such as Saint-Sulpice and Saint-Eustasche.
And now that Notre Dame Cathedral has reopened, I'm hearing hints that concerts will start taking place there again.
So check the concert line-up by month (below) to find the top concerts and performances happening today, this weekend, and future months, along with dates, location, schedule, and ticket information for easy booking.
