Haut-Var Chamber Music Festival

The second edition of the Haut-Var Chamber Music Festival builds on the success of its inaugural event in the summer of 2025, which laid the foundations for a project designed to stand the test of time.

Thus, the Haut-Var Festival will once again take place in the village of Aups and will extend its reach to both the neighbouring villages and the coastal towns of the Var, with a week of free chamber music concerts open to all.

This year’s festival will bring together eight young professional musicians from renowned European orchestras and institutions (Orchestre de Paris, Badische Philharmonie Pforzheim, Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, HfMDK Frankfurt-am-Main, etc.). First and foremost, my colleagues from the Trio Kazé on piano and cello, who are joined by two violinists and a violist to enable the creation of numerous key ensembles from the repertoire: string quartet, piano trio, clarinet quintet, and piano quintet. This ensemble is complemented by an oboe and a bassoon, enabling us to develop a rich and varied programme and offer audiences a diverse range of concerts featuring numerous ensembles and musical styles.
