The 15th annual “Music on Holiday” Festival is being held from July 13 to 26 in Ciotat, on the shores of the Mediterranean. Organised by AMEI (the Mediterranean Association of International Exchanges) and sponsored by BNP Paribas, this year’s festival promises to provide as a diverse a programme as ever, from classical music to swing and gospel through to the great jazz classics. 

This year, the Music on Holiday festival is being held as part of France-Russia Year, a joint initiative by the French and Russian governments to promote the strong cultural links between the two countries. The Festival is participating in this event with a celebration of “Russia”, with a special tribute to Frédéric Chopin.

17 concerts are planned, including concerts by the Philharmonic Orchestra of Minsk, Belarus and the Saint Petersburg Quartet.

Many of the concerts are free and reservations are available…check out the programme!
