Haut-Jura Music Festival: Alexandre Tharaud's Grand Recital
Description
Haut-Jura Music Festival
The Grand Recital - From Rameau to the Sea
May 31, 2026 at 16 p.m.
For the final day of its 41st edition, the Haut-Jura Music Festival takes over the Café de La Fraternelle, featuring the exceptional musician in two parts (a special DUO pass is available). His appearance in Saint-Claude is a rare event, a special moment for all lovers of music and the piano.
A leading figure in French piano music, Alexandre Tharaud is renowned for his virtuosity, sensitivity, and unique ability to create a dialogue between eras and styles. He has masterfully transposed Baroque harpsichord works to the piano, and his recordings of Rameau and Scarlatti have been hailed as benchmarks, while also exploring the later French repertoire with finesse. He will perform Rameau's grand suite and two of his own transcriptions.
