Since my return to Paris in October 2009, I am organising, with the support of the Director of the Mexican House, Mr. Francisco Betancourt and Mrs. Eunice Chao free concerts at the Auditorium of this House. This auditorium has a flexible capacity going from 20 to 100 seats depending on the event and a fantastic Steinway B piano is also available for the artists.

The aim of this work is to permit young talents to play in public, which is not always easy in such a big city like Paris, where there are so many musicians with an astonishingly high level, therefore not being possible for all of them to have frequent access to these public performances. In addition, important personalities will be invited to encounter these young musicians, to pass on the knowledge they have acquired through many years and first class careers.

On top of that, showing all this to those who are not accostumed to having contact with this environment of classical music is very exciting for me. There are many students of very different fields and a vast curiosity at the Cité Universitaire, so sharing something that makes my life wonderful is indeed very touching for me too.

Wishing to thank everybody that helps to make this project possible, I present you the agenda of the various events of this programme. This page will be updated frequently, so do not hesitate to come back soon!
