This year, the Mediterranean Youth Orchestra, its musical director Duncan Ward and guest cellist Camille Thomas, propose a musical journey punctuated by stopovers illustrating the diversity of cultures and music that form the ensemble’s identity. Alongside the venerable pages of Saint-Saëns and Ravel, we will hear works by the Egyptian composer Gamal Abdel-Rahim and Betsy Jolas, to whom the Festival is dedicating a portrait, as well as the – now iconic – collective creation ‘MYO Medinea’.
