Unique Concert Merges Music and Motors at Monaco’s Princely Automobile Collection

March 23, 2026
The Printemps des Arts festival continued its program with an unprecedented concert held at the heart of the Musée de l’Automobile.
Composer-saxophonist Vincent David and cellist Éric-Maria Couturier presented a special musical moment in this exceptional setting, surrounded by the Collection de Voitures du Prince Albert II.
The performance was characterized by its unusual venue, blending the sonic power of the instruments with the evocative environment of historic cars - a juxtaposition playfully evoked as “rugissements de moteurs… instrumentaux” (instrumental engine roars).
