Arcadi Volodos live in La Roque-d'Anthéron

Experience Arcadi Volodos live on August 2nd

Arcadi Volodos is a Russian pianist renowned for his technically dazzling performances and deeply poetic interpretations. His repertoire spans a wide range, from the standard classical composers like Rachmaninoff, Chopin, and Liszt – frequently showcasing their most challenging works – to transcriptions and lesser-known pieces. Volodos is particularly noted for his refined touch, exceptional control of dynamics, and a distinctive, often introspective approach to phrasing. He occasionally incorporates his own transcriptions into performances.

Château De Florans: Parc, located in La Roque-d'Anthéron, France, serves as a venue within the broader Festival de la Roque d’Anthéron. The Château itself dates back to the 17th century, originally built as a fortified country house. Over time it underwent significant transformations, including periods of neoclassical redesign in the 18th century. The park surrounding the Château has been carefully maintained and features formal French gardens alongside more naturalistic landscaping.

The festival utilizes the park’s natural acoustics and picturesque setting for outdoor performances. The grounds can accommodate a substantial audience while maintaining an intimate atmosphere due to its design incorporating existing trees and landscaping features.
