Festival international de Colmar

Du 2 juillet au 14 juillet 2008

The twentieth edition of the Festival of Colmar is dedicated to the most famous cellist of our time, Mstislav Rostropovich. As a virtuoso cellist whose name is now legendary, but also as a talented pianist and conductor, Mstislav Rostropovich performed with the greatest orchestras in the world, and his career was one of the most illustrious of the second half of the twentieth century. His unwavering defense of democratic principles, human rights and tolerance also earned him the respect and admiration of the international community.

Thus, in July 2008 the Festival of Colmar will celebrate its twentieth birthday! Given the quality and depth of its program, this "birthday" edition promises to be more festive than ever. With the help of our loyal partners, our ever-increasing audience and the many artists, all of whom come back to Colmar each year to share in a celebration of great music, this year's Festival is bound, once again, to be full of emotion and excellence.
