The ensemble
An artist-in-residence program is a partnership between a cultural venue and an artistic team. The venue —in this case, a theater— hosts the artistic project over an extended period and provides the necessary resources, while the artists develop their work, give performances, and engage with the audience.
On the invitation of Dominique Bluzet, the Café Zimmermann ensemble became residents of the Les Théâtres group in 2011, and more specifically at the Théâtre du Jeu de Paume since 2021.
Thanks to this collaboration, Café Zimmermann and the Théâtre du Jeu de Paume promote the riches of Baroque music, develop cultural activities, showcase artistic creation and offer you exceptional concerts!

Every season, you can find our concerts in Les Théatres programmes.
In 2025–2026, you could hear From Bach to Mozart on 16 October and An avening at Zimmermann's on 10 February.
Discover the programmes for the 2026–2027 season soon!
