Les nuits pianistiques

Les Nuits Pianistiques d'Aix-en-Provence runs each summer, largely at the Conservatoire Darius Milhaud, as part of the festival founded in 1993 by pianist Michel Bourdoncle. Centered on the piano, the program features recitals, chamber music and orchestral evenings, pairing the instrument with strings, winds and occasionally more unusual partners. The festival also runs an international academy that has become a recognized music training hub in Europe, offering masterclasses to French and international musicians.
