Aix – Reinventing, One Year After Nothing

Last year’s AIx Festival had to be canceled because of labor unrest. This year the festival starts over. “Aix has always been the prince of French music festivals since it was founded in 1948. It is based in a rich university town with well-preserved aristocratic mansions, winding streets and squares protected from the strong provençal sun by the essential plane trees; a white collar town full of lawyers that looks down on blue collar city of Marseilles, barely 30 kilometres away.”
