Under the title of “Marseille-Provence” 2013, the famous French violinist. Renaud Capuçon, has taken on the challenge of creating his first Easter Festival, in the town of Aix-en-Provence which runs from March 26 to April 7.
“With a love for the repertoire and an eye on creation, we intend to invite the biggest established names and welcome young talent” wrote Capucon of his festival debut. And that is exactly what he has done with a line up of 20 concerts featuring acclaimed artists such Matthias Goerne, Gidon Kremer, Radu Lupu, Angelika Kirschlager and Valery Gerviev with the Mariinsky Orchestra … to name but a few.
Joining Capuçon on stage for the final concert on 7 April is Aix’s very own Hélène Grimaud for a recital of Pärt, Debussy, Schumann and Ravel. The flags will definitely be flying on Aix that evening.
