Nadia and Lili Boulanger Festival

3rd edition — Sea and Music

The third edition of the Nadia and Lili Boulanger Festival takes place from Friday, June 5 to Sunday, June 7, 2026 in Trouville-sur-Mer, in the Salon des Gouverneurs of the Casino Barrière. This edition is themed « Sea and Music », echoing the city's maritime roots and the Boulanger sisters' childhood on the Côte Fleurie.

A film-loving and music-loving patron

The 2026 edition is sponsored by actress Julie Depardieu, a great classical music lover. She opens the festival with the reading of an original text written especially for this edition by Katel Faria, one of the few women today to hold the title of marine writer.

A gathering of artist friends

Under the artistic direction of Astrig Siranossian, the festival brings together a lineup of leading artists :

• Chouchane Siranossian — violin, virtuoso of the international baroque scene
• Astrig Siranossian — cello, artistic director of the festival
• Adrien La Marca — viola
• Nathanaël Gouin — piano, already a guest of the first edition
• Emmanuel Rossfelder — classical guitar
• Nabil Shehata — double bass, former principal double bass of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra

The opening concert program includes : Franz Schubert's String Trio D. 581 and Quintet « The Trout » D. 667, as well as a Sonata in F minor by Domenico Scarlatti chosen by patron Julie Depardieu, creating a direct link between the big screen and the stage. A second concert offers a recital with Hispanic and South American colors featuring Emmanuel Rossfelder (guitar), Astrig Siranossian (cello) and Nathanaël Gouin (piano).

Beyond the concerts

As every year, the edition combines concerts, musicological conferences, documentary film screenings (notably Mademoiselle by Bruno Monsaingeon and Il était une fois Michel Legrand) and educational meetings with schoolchildren, in several emblematic locations in Trouville-sur-Mer.

The detailed day-by-day program, with precise times and locations for each event, will be published on the official festival website in the weeks leading up to the opening. Elements known at this stage :
