Regardless of pending judicial procedures the Board of Cité de la Musique in Paris has granted the concession to run the concert hall Pleyel to Fimalac. Plans are to organize jazz, comedy, dance and song events at Pleyel, a hall of long classical tradition where no longer any classical concert is to take place in order to save the new philharmonic hall from competition. The new hall is a risky project since it is located far away from the homes of the traditional classical audience.
