8pm - Le Cloître - Le marathon des étoiles

Musicians are athletes (almost) like any other! Can you imagine the physical condition required of a top-level professional musician? After all, isn't an athlete said to be a virtuoso in his or her discipline? At the Marathon du Concerto, only athletes of their art line up: daily training, repetition of the perfect gesture, the gift of listening to oneself and to others.

At ease in their sneakers, bringing together a family audience around a repertoire of gold medallists - Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi... - the musicians, equipped with period instruments, stage the concerto in 21st-century style: a festive competition, a rousing "battle". They are the champions! Performance, stamina, dazzle - Olympic form is a musical virtue. We're just waiting for Nelson Monfort to commentate.
