ArtsAbly in Europe – Summer 2024

This is a brief summary of the musical activities that occurred in September 2024, while ArtsAbly’s activities were on pause.

After a family trip in Paris and a week of musical research in Weimar in Germany, Diane, the founder of ArtsAbly, spent time at the organ festival of St. Laurenzen in Saint-Gallen, Switzerland. As a singer, she performed with the pianist, organist and composer Bernhard Ruchti. As a musicologist, she interviewed some of the guest artists who gave recitals during the festival, starting with Bernhard Ruchti who played the opening concert, Sophie-Véronique Cauchefer-Choplin from the Saint-Sulpice church in Paris, and Jonathan Scott from England who performed the closing concert. Diane was also interviewed before the concert with Bernhard Ruchti.
