After that first detailed email we’ve been left with a series of not so enlightening facebook updates. “Kevin is in France” “Kevin is in Chateauroux” and “Kevin likes the cheese here”….the last one at least made me laugh and makes me really hope for a “Kevin’s found a booth” post!
Found this in a ‘magazine’….think the picture is from some other group but the text is from this year…I’ll wait for the formal translation to know for sure
(edit: translation ahead)
60 American musicians in concert at Chateauroux
Chateauroux continues to maintain its good relations with the American continent. After the arrival of American Veterans for the purpose of dedicating a statue, the Town will welcome sixty young musicians straight from Michigan.
The 60 young American musicians who will perform in concert in Chateauroux on June 29 come from the prestigious summer camp Blue Lake. This academy welcomes young artists so that they can improve in their artistic discipline. The best musicians who participate in this camp (literally internship but that’s weird in English) are chosen to participate in a European Tour during their next year. This year, the string orchestra is making a stop in Issoudun and Chateauroux. The Rotary Club of Levroux, the one of Issodun and Chateauroux, got together to organize this event for which the conservatory and the Town are partners. The young kids will be welcomed in families. This trip has several objectives: to give the students the opportunity to make strides in their discipline, but also to live a cultural exchange with Europeans. The musicians will arrive in Issoudun on June 28 and will play that night in town. They will be at St. André Church in Chateauroux Wednesday night before going back to Germany. “ The profits from the concert will be put back into the conservatory and will serve to buy new musical instruments” indicates Marc DuFond….
