6th Mirecourt Music Festival


Many new features for this 2019 edition placed under the sign of openness, discovery and youth:

Four artists with international careers, two young soloists will offer the public the great pages of French music alongside works to discover. There will be something for everyone !

An accordionist will share the stage with Marianne Piketty on the violin for a "Sans frontières" recital at the opening of the festival. The program ranging from Central European music to the Beatles, through the great pages of tango, will reach an even wider audience in a colorful program.

Tuesday evening will be an opportunity to bring together the soloists of the festival, the teachers and students of the inter-municipal music school of Mirecourt, the choir of student luthiers and the choir A tout bout’chants, in a festive program.

Four decentralized concerts in Saint-Dié, Neufchâteau, Vittel and Dombasle-en-Xaintois will introduce an ever wider audience to classical music at its highest level.

Thus 2019 will make the festival shine on an ever larger territory and discover an often unknown repertoire in all its diversity and richness. Strong links have thus been forged over the years between artists and violin makers from Mirecur and Europe.
