Isn’t it classic? Yes, it’s not classic; see the meaning of the title in the absence of academicism. The music and programming greatly highlight classical music. Sometimes it is revisited, reimagined, and you might be surprised by the orchestrations.
C’est pas classique is an introduction to opera art for those who dare not cross the threshold of an opera house; Mozart’s not for me! C’est pas classique precisely invites us, invites you to take the step, to discover an orchestra, voices, musicians.
Classical, jazz, baroque. A range where everyone can find their musical tastes. How many pieces of music, concerts, performers? When you love, you do not count. C’est pas classique is the meeting place for music lovers, those who wish to understand the writing of a score, the music. The Acropolis Palace is the vessel where music is dissected, explained, and fascinates.
The young audience is not forgotten. After all, these young children will be the music lovers, perhaps the musician artists of tomorrow. An author once said about music: “We are looking for a universal language; why search for what already exists? … Music is understandable by everyone, it is this universal language.”
Even after fourteen editions, we are still surprised by this human hive where the audience looks for a hall, an auditorium to listen to a concert.
This is also one of the magic aspects of the Acropolis Palace: a vessel, a liner where each deck holds a surprise. One can understand the success of this event organized by the Alpes Maritimes department.
C’est pas classique! Do not forget the meaning of this word: academicism. C’est pas classique allows creativity, surpassing musical canons. C’est pas classique is about daring, and for fourteen years this event has dared!
