The most beautiful projects are made through encounters. Through a mutual friend, we met conductor David Molard Soriano. Music was then a natural guest at Ainay, giving birth to the "Premières Rencontres Musicales du château d'Ainay-le-Vieil" last August.
For four days, David Molard Soriano, his guests and the Rencontres orchestra took us on a musical journey through the walled gardens of the Carthusian monastery, along the water of the Renaissance canals and through the magnificent Salle des Archers. A moment that enchanted the public who turned out in force.
We are therefore delighted to announce the second edition of the "Rencontres Musicales du Château d'Ainay-le-Vieil" from August 17 to 20, 2023. A new program and new guests will invest Ainay with music, to once again bring us a sweet and melodious moment.

Four days of concerts with David Molard Soriano, assistant conductor of the Orchestre National de France and co-founder and artistic & musical director of theOrchestre des Jeunes d'Île-de-France.
