Les Rencontres Clés
« It was an unforgettable Schubertiade in the enchanting setting of the Royal Hainaut with Philippe Cassard, Anne Gastinel, Samuel Hasselhorn, Ionah Maiatsky and Maria Marica. I would like to invite you to join my musician friends Marie-Josèphe Jude, Yan Levionnois, Elise Bertrand, Charles Heisser and the Quatuor Hermès. On 13, 14 and 15 May, in the setting of the Château d’Augerville, we will be celebrating the music of the Paris of the Roaring Twenties by composers such as Debussy, Poulenc, Franck and Chausson… »
