The festival reflects the forward-thinking, contemporary musical identity of modern Parisian cultural institutions. Spectators enjoy rare, intimate collaborations and exclusive premier performances within acoustic concert halls of exceptional quality. It bridges gaps between different musical subcultures, attracting a young, passionate audience to prestigious national classical venues.
