Le Concert Idéal launches its new Academy!
The third edition of the Concert Idéal Academy will take place in early September in the Loir-et-Cher region.
For the third time since 2023, Le Concert Idéal is offering young musicians the opportunity to spend a week working alongside Marianne Piketty in early September on a demanding and enriching artistic programme.
In 2026, the academy will take the form of a string sextet, and we will soon be launching the recruitment of five young musicians (1 violinist, 2 violists and 2 cellists).
At the end of the academy, three performances will be presented in emblematic venues across the Loir-et-Cher region.
Le Concert Idéal on tour!
In 2026, Le Concert Idéal continues to stage classical music as a narrative experience through five different programmes:
Vivaldi – Piazzolla
Not just a concert to hear, but also a performance to see, with lighting and staging that bring together, for one evening, Vivaldi’s and Piazzolla’s Four Seasons.
Vivaldi, the Golden Age
With this staged and choreographed performance, Le Concert Idéal celebrates the Venetian School with rarely performed works by Vivaldi and other composers, offering a vibrant tribute to the rich sonic mosaic of the Italian city.
Under the Star (Sous l’étoile)
Conceived as a musical, visual and poetic narrative, this performance brings together Baroque and contemporary works to express the full range of emotions experienced throughout a night, from the joy of celebration to the hope of a new day.
The Blue Hour (L’Heure bleue)
Between the luminous music of Hildegard of Bingen and Hartmann’s Concerto funebre, journey through the Blue Hour—that fleeting moment between night and day when it is still possible to hope in humanity.
Polyptych (Polyptyque)
Franck Martin’s Polyptyque is set alongside sacred works by other composers such as Bach, Vivaldi, Lotti and Victoria, who, across time, space and ideas, have encountered one another, passing on the flame of inspiration.
Finally, new programmes are currently in development and are expected to premiere in late 2026 – early 2027. We will be sure to keep you informed!
