GROUPE SEB MAJOR SPONSOR OF THE ORCHESTRE DE CHAMBRE DE LYON

ORCHESTRE

Groupe SEB becomes a Major Sponsor of the Orchestre de Chambre de Lyon for 3 years. This partnership is perfectly in line with the Group's policy of cultural and regional sponsorship, particularly by enabling young people to discover the world of classical music.


Under the direction of conductor Vincent Balse for the past 10 years, the Orchestre de Chambre de Lyon puts its values of classical tradition and excellence center stage, while blending accessibility and modernity. 

The eclecticism of the programs on offer attracts young audiences, introducing them to a new musical genre and breaking down any stereotypes they may have about the orchestra or even opera. This diversity includes covers of film music, symphonic gospel, operatic works and more. 

By investing in the development of the Orchestre de Chambre de Lyon, Groupe SEB is helping to enrich Lyon's cultural offering and preserve its musical heritage. As part of the artistic project for the Nouvelle Salle Rameau, the orchestra was selected to be the orchestra in residence, once the renovation work is complete. 

Thierry de La Tour d’Artaise

We are proud to contribute to the development of the Orchestre de Chambre de Lyon, and thereby pass on our passion for classical music to future generations. Culture, and music in particular, is a formidable vector for social cohesion, and we believe it's essential to make it accessible to all. The renovation of the Salle Rameau, a jewel in Lyon's cultural heritage, will awaken an even greater sense of wonder in audiences.

 

Thierry de La Tour d'Artaise, Chairman of Groupe SEB. 

 Vincent Balse

A new chapter is being written for the OCL orchestra, which I have had the honor of directing for over ten years, and I'm delighted that it's being written alongside Groupe SEB, with whom we share the values of collegiality, sharing and solidarity. I'm convinced that increasing everyone's cultural capital is a fundamental need, and that every person should have a right of access to culture. To this end, we're going to work hard to considerably develop the orchestra's work and reach a wider audience!

 

Vincent Balse, Musical Director of the Orchestre de Chambre de Lyon.
