Aix-en-Provence - Rudy Ricciotti

VOLCANIC ICON

Not far from Montagne Sainte-Victoire, a strange rock emerged from the earth two years ago in Aix-en-Provence: 6MIC, an extraordinary 5,000m2 space housing two concert halls for modern music. A massif draped in raw concrete designed by the father of Marseille's MuCEM, the daring Rudy Ricciotti.

SHARING GOOD SEISMIC VIBES

6MIC – a place where the public can meet up and discover emerging and recognized artists – leaves no visitor stony-faced. This unique Salle des Musiques Actuelles can welcome 2,500 visitors for two different concerts at the same time.
The building itself – seemingly made of solidified volcanic lava – is a bold and reassuring architectural statement, ideal for hosting liberated and evolutionary music events.
The architectural ensemble literally melts into the mountainous horizon in which it takes root.
In keeping with its cultural calling, 6MIC also has a vast exhibition hall, a modular patio and four rehearsal studios.
And beyond performances, it has also opened its doors to resident artists.
