PIANO A RIOM

This 25 years ago, a group of friends both music lovers and viscerally attached to this magnificent town of Riom, decided to base this festival that bears its name today. Laurent Martin, this excellent pianist who is leading the brilliant career, was the first artistic director. At the time, it was to make known the immense compound literature for the king instrument, mainly but not merely classical. The town of Riom immediately followed, as well as many public and private partners. This is how since 1987 we have been in Riom and in several municipalities adjacent to exceptional pianists. The third piano president in Riom, Hubert Desjonquères, took the party of reasoned evolution by opening the festival since 2011 to other music.
