From June 11 to September 25, 2011, the Summer Evenings celebrate diversity. From classical music to traditional music, including singing, jazz, and contemporary music, all musical genres will be represented.
Since its inception in 1996, this event has been a resounding success, with a growing number of visitors, totaling over 1,500,000 spectators and 4,000 shows over the past 5 years.
The words of President Eric Ciotti: “Rich in a history marked by powerful markers of civilization, our department is a land of mixing that we must continue to constantly irrigate, which we must cultivate to add new modes of expression to the ancestral heritage that permeates our villages and cities.”
To conclude: “The Summer Evenings indeed lean towards this perspective: an artistic celebration, a civic celebration in the spirit of originality, creativity, and conviviality.”
