Les amateurs virtuoses !

The association Les Amateurs virtuoses has been tirelessly touring the stages of the world for thirteen years to allow extraordinary pianists to share their love of music with as many people as possible. Their distinctive sign? They have not made the piano their profession and are engineers, salesmen, architects, teachers…, while cultivating their musical practice with passion and at the highest level.
