From May 14 to 17, 2025, these emotions will be shared with the music lovers of Marrakech, Rabat, Casablanca and Tangier during four exceptional concerts, under the direction of the conductor Hervé Niquet.
This is a first in Morocco: the Choir de Chambre du Maroc, directed by Amine Hadef, associates, for a tour of four concerts, with one of the most renowned baroque music sets in the world, to celebrate the very essence of musical beauty, that of Mozart.

Organized on the initiative of the French Institute of Morocco, this enchanted musical journey is much more than an artistic performance: it is the meeting between two sets united by the same passion for music and authenticity, and by the pleasure of performing together.
This collaboration was born from a common will: that of bringing together the talents of the two shores of the Mediterranean, to meet their eyes and their sensitivities to share with the Moroccan public the same passion. Beyond the performance, this tour embodies everything that culture must offer: create bonds, encourage dialogue and celebrate diversity.
Tickets available on Voichet.ma and at the reception of French institutes.
