Come aboard Le Dumont d'Urville for an unforgettable voyage.
True to the concept imagined by Alain Duault, this series brings together six leading international pianists, each offering a one-hour recital followed by a final evening of shared encore performances. For this 12th edition, artists from Russia, Belgium, Vietnam, and France invite you to an unmissable event for piano enthusiasts.
From the Peloponnese to Sicily, each port of call reveals a fascinating heritage: Epidaurus and Mycenae, UNESCO-listed ancient treasures; Monemvasia rising from the sea; Heraklion and its Minoan mysteries; or Gythio, the ancient Spartan port. Apulia, Gallipoli, and Syracuse further enhance this journey, between myths, citrus scents, and enchanting melodies.
