Mare Nostrum Musicae


Mare Nostrum Musicae

 

Mare Nostrum Musicae (formed in 1995) is a group of professional musicians under the artistic direction of François Ragot, the celebrated Céret-born cellist.

They are supported by the association FCPC (Formations de Chambre des Pays Catalans) which, based in Céret, was formed in 2007 to ensure that people in the Pyrenees Orientales have the opportunity to hear, for an affordable price, classical music played by world class musicians.

François and Mare Nostrum Musicae also play with a variety of other orchestras and ensembles, both in the PO and elsewhere.

October will see the forth edition of the superb music festival, Automne Musical en Vallespir.
