Get into the music with Marie! Reviews, intros, Jury +20 years old
Music immerses us in an immersive, sensory, emotional experience… We can experience it immediately without understanding or knowing too much about it. But we can also develop a sharper ear, enriched with knowledge that in no way diminishes the intensity of our experience – quite the contrary.
We invite you to enter into the music of the Sion Festival with our musicologist Marie Favre: with her reviews on Rhône FM, with her intros before some of the concerts, and with her critical listening workshop, in preparation for her participation in the Jury of the ‘over twenty’s’ for the Tibor Junior Competition. Find out all the details below!
We look forward to sharing with you the exciting and enriching experience of music at the Sion Festival, and wish you all the very best for the rest of your summer.
