Inspired by Maurice Ravel and his world, anchored in Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Ciboure, and culturally noursishing the Basque Country through its artistic activities, Festival Ravel presents today’s the great artists of the period and, through its Academy, trains tomorrow’s performers and composers. The Festival promotes these young artists throughout the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region and facilitates their international networking.
The project is supported by the ‘Académie Internationale de Musique Maurice Ravel’ association, founded in 1967.
