He frequently programs lesser-known works alongside established repertoire, showcasing a broad curiosity and scholarly approach to music.

Château De Florans: Parc, located in La Roque-d'Anthéron, France, serves as a venue within the broader Festival de la Roque d’Anthéron, a celebrated classical music festival. The Château itself dates back to the 17th century, originally constructed as a fortified farmhouse before evolving into an elegant country estate. The surrounding parkland provides a picturesque open-air setting for performances. While the château has undergone various renovations throughout its history, it retains significant architectural elements reflective of its Provençal heritage. The festival utilizes the park’s natural acoustics to create an immersive experience for audiences. The grounds are known for their mature trees and landscaping offering shade during summer events.
