Every year since 1982, the Festival has welcomed young musicians in residence, who attend « Master Classes ». For a few days, the Festival turns into an open-air conservatory!
By offering Master Classes, the Festival confirms its ambition to promote a new artist generation. They usually come from the most important national conservatories. They work alongside renowned professionals to benefit from their advice and experience during a week of residency. These workshops offer an alternative and lively approach of musical practice. The public can attend these daily work sessions for free, which are held in the Château de Florans Park (date and time of classes to be announced soon).
