This year 2023 marks an important anniversary with the 40th edition of the Festival Les Heures Musicales de Cunault and the arrival of a new artistic director.
|
As this is an anniversary year, the Festival programme will be exceptional with young artists and exceptional ensembles. Four concerts are offered this summer every Sunday between 16th July and 6th August. This year the artistic direction of the Musical Hours is entrusted to two talented young musicians and teachers: Amandine Duchênes, pianist, vocalist and Thomas Pellerin, harpsichordist, organist, organ teacher at the conservatory of Angers.
|
Both are keen to help us discover talented young artists with the aim of bringing musical excellence to all audiences. Faithful music lovers of the Festival will find artists they have already met such as Romain Leleu and will discover with the new spectators of the Heures Musicales de Cunault new talents also recognized on the national and international scene.
Have a good 40th season! |
