Classicaval Review
As every year, the first edition of Classicaval was a resounding success with the large audience in attendance. For this 32nd edition, the three concerts on the program were sold out at the Church of Saint-Bernard in Menthon. Renowned musicians graced the event with their presence, including Volkhard Steude and his Stradivarius, Olivier Doise, the young prodigy Kojiro Okada, and two students from the Lyon National Conservatory of Music and Dance. The Classicaval festival has the unique distinction of bringing together two distinct worlds, music and sport, which nevertheless share similarities and complement each other perfectly.
Classicaval will return from March 9 to 12 for its second edition, directed by Artistic Director and pianist Elena Rozanova.
