Built in 1929 in a pure New Art style, its acoustic quality is one of the most exceptional in Europe and has proved very popular with the Parisian audience. Auguste Perret, who is also the architect of the Champs-Elysées Theatre, designed one of his greatest realizations within the Salle Cortot.
Integrated into the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris, this concert hall, which Cortot described as sounding "like a Stradivarius" is, in all respects, a truly unique place.

Classified as a French Historical Landmark and located in the heart of Paris, it offers, as an averaged sized hall, curved ranks expertly dispatched around the stage, setting oneself perfectly amidst the sound.

Surrounded by beautiful paneling and a magnificent circular stage, it has attracted many well known artists to play here over the years. Furthermore, the Cortot Concert Hall is one of the most appreciated music theatres in Paris.
