We thanks the loaners for making  this event possible.

This idea came from a common thought of Peter Biddulph (expert) and Frédéric Chaudière (violin maker and president of AIMM) - both are curators of the exhibition. That they proposed to Radio France Festival and Montpellier Languedoc-Roussillon and Fabre Museum of Montpellier and Agglomeration. Conferences, concerts, pedagogic activities, living workshop, lectures... are scheduled.

The Radio France Festival and Montpellier Languedoc-Roussillon offers on July 14th for their Opening Concert a Bacchanal of the Savage. At this occasion, the musicians of the Montpellier National Orchestra joined by other reknowed soloist, will have the opportunity to perform on 20 Stradivarius. This will be very first Stradivarius Orchestra. Also on the Radio France Festival and Montpellier Languedoc-Roussillon program, the Kreutzer Quartet will play on July 15th on 4 of the Stradivarius loaned by the Royal Academy of Music, London.
