These latest news for the 2025–2026 season highlight the best moments of the past few weeks: the Percustra concert in the heart of our neighborhood, our tour in Beijing featuring several performances—notably Thierry De Mey’s Timelessness—and a first look at the upcoming season, both in Strasbourg and elsewhere. Les Percussions de Strasbourg wish you a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing you again in the fall! ☀️
Percustra 2026
And that’s it—Percustra is over for this year!
On June 12, we wrapped up this year’s edition of Percustra with a grand outdoor concert on Place André Maurois, across from the Théâtre de Hautepierre.
On stage, no fewer than 115 amateur percussionists shared the results of a year’s work on a piece by composer Akiko Yamane. A class from the Brigitte School, a class from the Jacqueline School, a class from Erasme Middle School, a class from Truffaut Middle School, and two groups open to the general public presented their musical creations to a curious and enthusiastic audience. The musicians of Les Percussions de Strasbourg performed Akiko Yamane’s Trio [Fluctuations], before giving way to each group’s original compositions.
The concert took place outdoors: we kept our fingers crossed for good weather… and we managed to avoid the rain! 🌦️ The atmosphere was warm, the participants gave it their all, and the entire team pulled together to make this evening a wonderful moment of shared joy.
A big thank you also to the JEEP association, whose refreshment stand was a huge hit, as well as to everyone who attended for helping to make this a wonderful celebration in the Hautepierre neighborhood.
We’re very proud of all our participants and are as moved as ever to wrap up a year of connections, discoveries, and music shared with our neighbors. ❤️
Congratulations and thank you to everyone. See you in 2027!
