SALON DE MUSIQUE

The Conservatoire %E0 Rayonnement Intercommunal (CRI) of S%E8te Agglop%F4le M%E9diterran%E9e invites you on Friday, December 11, 2026, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Maurice Ravel Auditorium for “Salon de Musique”— a concert for piano and violin inspired by 19th-century private musical soirées, conducted by François-Xavier Corsi and Adrian Sbarra. The Refined Atmosphere of 19th-Century Salons Immerse yourself in the refined atmosphere of a 19th-century bourgeois salon. These evenings, most often organized by the hostesses, brought together artists, discerning amateurs, and renowned figures from cultural life around the piano—the iconic instrument of the era. This concert for piano and violin draws inspiration from these traditions to transport you to the golden age of intimate chamber music. Grieg, Paganini, and Wieniawski—masterpieces On the program: works by Edvard Grieg, Niccolò Paganini, and Henryk Wieniawski—three iconic composers of the Romantic repertoire for piano and violin. Melodies that enlivened the most prestigious European salons of the 19th century. Pictorial works projected throughout the concert To further immerse the audience in the aesthetic of the salons of yesteryear, visual artworks will be projected throughout the concert—paintings and engravings from the Romantic era—to enrich the musical experience with a visual and historical dimension.
