The program title refers to the musical journey that can be enjoyed next year with the Swiss Octet on the Seine from 9 - 16 August 2025. Melodies by the most famous French composers and works related to Paris and France will be performed. The instrumentation of five strings and three wind instruments offers a broad, "impressionistic" sound palette, also thanks to the sensitive arrangements by Paul Scharf and Hans Hoerni. Soyez les bienvenus on this unique musical tour de France!
