For the 2024 edition, the winner will benefit from the services of KIK-IRPA, worth 25,000 euros, thanks to the support of the National Lottery. This year, among the 7 masterpieces in competition is the van Buuren Museum and Gardens, a veritable jewel of Art Deco.

As part of the Art Deco at Home festival, the Van Buuren Museum & Gardens and La Monnaie invite you to an exceptional musical evening “Éclats Art Déco”

Gwendolyn Blondeel (soprano), Marie-Juliette Ghazarian (mezzo-soprano), and Ouri Bronchti (piano) present a 1-hour-and-15-minute program celebrating the musical diversity of the Art Deco period. Through works by, among others, Poulenc, Satie, and Kurt Weill, they explore the contrasts between French refinement and Berlin cabaret, between elegance and irony, between tradition and modernity.
