This summer the Vars Passion Association is once more organising Musique à Vars, musical encounters around a piano in the magnificent hall at the Maison Chastan in Sainte-Marie. The programme is mainly the same as that scheduled for summer 2020 and then cancelled. It will comply with the health guidelines in force.
To celebrate the festival’s 10th anniversary, the opening concert on the 3rd of August will be exceptionally performed outdoors, without a piano, in the Val d'Escreins: the Oxygen wind quintet will play music from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries.
The programme will continue with four classical music concerts in the Maison Chastan. In this room, with its excellent acoustics and on a human scale, experts, enthusiasts and the newly-converted will be close to the performers. The pianists will introduce the works before performing them.
In the morning,
Vars les Claux
