Square Paul Paray

Square Paul Paray is a quiet, leafy retreat that honors one of France's most accomplished conductors. Paul Paray spent much of his life leading orchestras, including a decade in charge of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in the United States, where he became famous for his high-energy, precision-focused recording sessions. Beyond his work on the podium, he was a prolific composer who even wrote a string quartet while imprisoned in a German camp during the First World War. This garden serves as a peaceful urban tribute to a musician whose career bridged the musical worlds of Europe and America.
