On Wednesday, October 3, Marc Monnet, Artistic Advisor, presented the 2019 program in the presence of HRH Princess of Hanover, President of the Festival, Patrice Cellario, Ministerial Advisor Interior and Jean-Charles Curau, Secretary General of the Festival and Director of Cultural Affairs.

Focusing on two musical genres, the Concerto and the String Quartet, this 35th edition will also give pride of place to the piano by plunging without limits into the repertoire of the instrument.

The festival will offer a tribute to two figures of the 20th century – Mauricio Kagel and Karlheinz Stockhausen. For the closing concert, he will open his borders to Mongolian crosstalk vocals, which means to produce two sounds simultaneously.

Meetings with the artists and a surprise trip will punctuate the varied program.
