The schedule is set! The names of the French and international artists expected for the concert celebrating the reopening of the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris have been revealed.

“ Beautiful, it's a word that seems invented just for her… ” Let’s be honest, ever since we learned the names of the artists who will perform at the reopening of the Notre-Dame Cathedral on Saturday, December 7th, we can’t help but have the famous song Beautiful from the musical Notre-Dame de Paris in our heads. The reason? The lineup for that evening becomes a bit clearer every day, and the singer Garou, who shared the stage with Patrick Fiori and Daniel Lavoie in 1998, will be among the personalities present this weekend for the inauguration of the legendary cathedral, five years after the fire that partially destroyed it. Other francophone artists...and international partners will support them. 


From pop to classical... Artists from all musical backgrounds

Forget the rumors saying that Paul McCartney and Bono would be present at the reopening of Notre-Dame.

```The evening will kick off at 9 PM and will be hosted by Stéphane Bern. It will blend personal testimonials, spiritual moments, and musical performances. Alongside Garou, French artists Clara Luciani and Vianney will also be featured, as well as Franco-Beninese singer Angélique Kidjo, Franco-Lebanese Hiba Tawaji, and DJ Michael Canitrot, who will close the event. Cellist Gautier Capuçon and his brother, violinist Renaud Capuçon, will be present for the reopening of this building to which they have a special connection, as revealed by our colleagues from Le Parisien.


Many international artists will be present for this historic evening

Philippe Jost, president of the public establishment for the restoration of Notre-Dame, stated on RTL that, « There will be [...] very great artists of international renown, and that's what the cathedral deserves. » As promised, the Chinese pianist Lang Lang, the Franco-American cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and the Franco-Swiss tenor Benjamin Bernheim will all participate in the evening. The Franco-Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili and the Swedish violinist Daniel Lozakovich will also perform, accompanied by the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Venezuelan Gustavo Dudamel. The concert is organized by France Télévision and will also be broadcast live.
