Festival de Musique - the Masterclass
Menton's famous Festival de Musique - this is the 63rd edition - is currently taking place at the parvis in front of the Basilica in the Old Town.
Part of this festival is a Masterclass for harpists given by virtuuso Marielle Nordmann. These are taking place in the villa of the Serre de la Madone , probably Menton's most famous garden. The culmination of these masterclasses will be a performance by the students at the Palais de l'Europe.
Tomorrow, we meet Manon, one of the young harpists.
