Salle Érard, Concert hall in 2nd arrondissement, France.
Salle Érard is a concert hall located within a private mansion on rue du Mail, designed with careful acoustic qualities for musical performances. The intimate space accommodates chamber music concerts and studio recordings with excellent sound isolation.
The hall emerged in the 19th century as a space for classical music performances, where composers like Debussy, Ravel, and Saint-Saëns held premieres and concerts. Its establishment reflected the growing importance of chamber music in Paris.
The salon hosted gatherings of composers and musicians who performed and exchanged ideas within its walls. Today, regular concerts continue this tradition of bringing together those interested in classical music.
The venue operates as a private concert space, so visitors should check ahead for event schedules and availability before planning a visit. Arriving early allows time to find the location and settle in for the performance.
Before 1963, the space operated as a recording studio for French radio, capturing numerous performances that shaped the country's musical broadcasting. This earlier function as a studio influenced how the space developed as a concert venue.
