Our association Pianestival has been organizing international piano festivals for 16 years under the name "The Virtuoso Amateurs". These festivals are primarily dedicated to offering exceptional amateur pianists the opportunity to perform in concerts at prestigious venues, in France and around the world (Théâtre du Châtelet, Philharmonie de Paris, Théâtre antique de Vaison-la-Romaine, Opéra des Margraves in Bayreuth, Capella of Saint Petersburg, City Hall in Cape Town, etc.). Concerts are also organized in unusual locations, in nature or on beaches (La Londe-les-Maures, Col de la Chaudière in the Drôme, etc.). The festival is also a meeting place with some of the most acclaimed professional pianists, through masterclass sessions and shared concerts.
