Twenty years of cultural initiatives

For nearly 20 years, the Auditorium-Orchestre national de Lyon has been offering a wide variety of projects, through its cultural initiatives, to experience music to the full.

Approaching the concert from a different angle, enjoying meeting the artists, creating new, participatory experiences, joining practical workshops, creating, playing, discovering and helping others discover, sharing, learning, feeling, being amazed... there are as many different initiatives as there are concerts, and as many ways to enjoy the music as the mood takes you.

Adults, children, seasoned opera lovers, students, groups, teachers, school pupils, people for whom it is very difficult or impossible to come to a concert: everyone can find a different way of experiencing the concert at the Auditorium-Orchestre national de Lyon.
