Cultural diplomacy often finds its most profound expression not in formal state treaties, but in the shared resonance of art. In an enduring testament to regional solidarity, the municipalities of Monaco and Dolceacqua are set to mark their deep-rooted historical connections through a collaborative musical performance.
Organized within the formal framework of the twinning relationship between the two communities, an exceptional concert will take place on Saturday, June 27, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. (16h00). The event, which is scheduled to run for approximately one hour, offers free and open admission to the public, emphasizing a shared commitment to community engagement and accessible culture.
The performance will convene two classical interpreters of notable renown: recorder player Marie-Claire Bert and organist Olivier Vernet. The venue for this artistic collaboration is the historic Église Saint-Georges de Dolceacqua, a setting that structurally and symbolically mirrors the solemnity of the occasion.
Beyond the technical mastery of the individual performers, the musical rendezvous is explicitly designed to celebrate the cultural and historical ties that have united these two territories for centuries. Local authorities emphasize that the concert serves as an invitation to the public to experience a dedicated moment of fellowship, partnership, and cross-border friendship.
