Grand PianO Festival

Second edition: the festival takes flight

From June 26 to 30, 2024, the Grand PianO Festival returned for its second edition with an even more ambitious program. The headliner, Zaho de Sagazan, four-time winner of the Victoires de la Musique 2024, electrified the Campo Santo on June 28, accompanied by Flavien Berger and pianist Shani Diluka.

Polish pianist Hania Rani, the American trio Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio, and the German-Swiss duo Grandbrothers also marked this edition. New venues were featured: the CERCIL with Denis Cuniot and his klezmer music, the Librairie Jaune Citron for a piano-clarinet duo from the Orléans Symphony Orchestra, and L'Inexplosible for a piano-horn duo.

A major new feature of this edition: family activities and concerts on the banks of the Loire on Sunday, strengthening the festival's connection to the city and its special relationship with the river.
