Les Coups de Cœur à Chantilly embodies a unique encounter between excellent music and exceptional heritage. Nestling in the heart of the Domaine de Chantilly, property of the Institut de France, this season offers audiences unrivalled musical moments in venues steeped in history: from the Grandes Écuries to the Galerie de Peinture du Château.
Since its creation in 2021 under the impetus of Prince Amyn Aga Khan and pianist Iddo Bar-Shaï, this season has established itself as a not-to-be-missed event for music lovers. From the very first edition, marked by an exceptional celebration of Martha Argerich's 80th birthday, Les Coups de Cœur à Chantilly has affirmed its vocation: to offer intimate and unforgettable musical experiences, accessible to all.
Special focus on young people
Les Coups de Cœur à Chantilly finds a unique resonance in its commitment to cultural mediation, spearheaded by the Cercle DoRé, a group of patrons driven by a shared passion for music and culture, which reflects a deep conviction that classical music possesses a transformative power, capable of touching hearts and transcending social boundaries.
At the heart of this mission, cultural outreach embodies the ambition to make classical music accessible to all.
Through concerts open to the widest possible audience and participatory activities, we aim to democratise this timeless art form and awaken the interest of new audiences, with a particular focus on the younger generation.
Masterclasses
In partnership with the Chantilly Conservatoire, Le Ménestrel, les Coups de Cœur offers second cycle students an exceptional experience through its Masterclasses.
These sessions represent a rare opportunity for young musicians to hone their craft under the guidance of internationally renowned masters. Guided by exceptional artists, participants explore in depth the many dimensions of music: interpretation, technique, repertoire and artistic expression. Enriched by these lessons, they also have the opportunity to perform in public, benefiting from immediate and constructive feedback to nurture their artistic progress.
These Master Classes embody the vocation of Coups de Cœur: to pass on musical excellence and inspire the next generation of talent.
