The Salle Gaveau is a classical concert hall, particularly intended for chamber music and recitals by great pianists, great soloists of other instruments, singers or opera singers. It has a capacity of one thousand and twenty seats spread over three levels. Built by Étienne Gaveau in 19071, it takes its name from the French piano manufacturer Gaveau. Since the transfer of management in 1893 by their father and founder of the factory, Joseph Gabriel Gaveau, Étienne has been in charge of the management jointly with his brother Gabriel Eugène, being more directly responsible for the administration. In the "Gaveau building" that he had built on rue La Boétie, he created the company's new headquarters as well as the hall. The plans for the hall were drawn up by Jacques Hermant in 1905, the year the land was acquired. Construction of the Gaveau Building took place from 1906 to 1907. (Source: Wikipedia) The hall houses a large organ built in 1900 by the Mutin-Cavaillé-Coll company. This instrument has thirty-nine stops: eight for the positive, twelve for the récit, twelve for the grand-orgue and seven for the pedalboard. The body of the instrument was reinstalled in the town of Saint-Saëns, en Haute- Normandie in 1957 (and modified by Gutschenritter).
