2026 Edition

From March 17 to 22 at the Atelier du Plateau in Paris.
Six days during which six cellists selected will be able to practice, discover, study, listen, exchange, share in the company of Italian cellist Francesco Dillon, patron of this edition, Noémi Boutin, Vincent Courtois and Éric-Maria Couturier.

Masterclasses take place in the morning plus the afternoon and are followed each evening by a concert, for the interns to see and hear the cello in different stylistic contexts, and above all to insist on the need for continuity of the link between theory and practice.
