As part of the Barbara Hepworth exhibition, the Orchestre National de Cannes presents a program of 20th-century British music in the evocative setting of the Giacometti Courtyard at the Fondation Maeght.

This open-air concert offers a unique dialogue between modernist sculpture and the vibrant musical voices of the past century. Under the baton of Kyrian Freidenberg and featuring violinist Cécile Subirana, the evening will highlight works that reflect the lyricism, innovation, and depth of British composition from the early to mid-20th century.
