This edition featured a rich program blending the great classics of the repertoire—Rachmaninoff, Mozart, Debussy, Rossini—with baroque and contemporary works.

Among the highlights of this edition, Les Musiciens du Louvre celebrated Handel in a special concert in Vichy. Violinist Agnès Pyka performed a recital at the Château de la Mothe in Vicq, while numerous concerts took place at the Church of Saint-Louis in Vichy, the Church of Sainte-Croix in Gannat, and the Church of Saint-Léger in Ebreuil.
