Festival les muséiques redimensioned
The Basel Festival organizes a concert day at the end of September.
The music festival les muséiques has been held in Basel's museums every year since 2001. According to the festival management, this year for the first time it will not last several days as usual. A concert day will be held at the end of September and from 2014 the festival will take place every two years.
The reasons, says artistic director Florence Sitruk, are the restructuring of the sponsorship landscape and the new organizational team, which needs time to fulfil these tasks. The festival last took place under her aegis in September 2012 and was praised by the local and international press. Sitruk is confident and calls the festival, which she took over from Peter Sadlo in 2010, "a jewel for bringing all the arts together".
