It is sometimes difficult to believe that such an important musical festival is able to exist so far from big towns and cities. Slipping into Musicalta's faithful audience year by year convinces anyone of the obvious success of the organizer's bet. Frenzy around programs, fellow students murmur, the whole is breathing and living at the rythm of a festival being also a training place... giving to the region the opportunity to look like a campus. This narrow link between the academy and the festival gives a particular tonality to concerts: here everyone can enjoy listening to the musicians in a quiet and unaffected atmosphere.
