Gaveau

The company was established by Joseph Gabriel Gaveau in 1847 in Paris and was one of the three largest piano makers in France (after Érard and Pleyel).

[2] In his autobiography My Young Years, Arthur Rubinstein recounts how he was contracted to play Gaveau pianos in concert.

Artists such as Camille Saint-Saëns and Alfred Cortot enjoyed playing their Gaveau, interpreting composers including Chopin, Debussy and Satie.

[3] The concert hall, located at 45, Rue la Boétie in the 8th arrondissement,[3] is active with classical and jazz music.

The Salle Rostropovitch is a smaller hall or reception room that can accommodate about 250 people seated or 800 standing.
