It is an extraordinary destiny: that of the Syrian violinist Bilal Alnemr.

Born in Damascus, this young virtuoso inaugurates, at the age of 25, his first festival in the South of France.

With the “Musical Meetings of Vauvenargues”, he wishes to thank – in music – this Provençal village listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for having welcomed and integrated his family in the midst of the Syrian war.

Carmen Lunsmann tells you her story.
