Coup de Cœur des Jeunes Mélomanes

ACADEMIE RAINIER III - Salle Louis ABBIATE

The Prince Pierre Foundation was created on February 17, 1966 by H.S.H. Prince Rainier III, in tribute to the memory of His Father, Prince Pierre, a great patron of letters and the arts. Today presided over by H.R.H. The Princess of Hanover, the Foundation's mission is to promote contemporary creativity. H.S.H. The Sovereign Prince awards prizes on the recommendation of three councils - literary, musical and artistic - made up of internationally renowned personalities.

In collaboration with the Prince Pierre of Monaco Foundation,

Since 2011, our cultural institutions have been collaborating on a number of educational projects aimed at raising awareness of contemporary musical composition among young musicians, as well as providing an annual financial award for a recent musical work.

Based on a list proposed by the Musical Council, our primary and junior high school students in the CHAM (classes à horaires aménagés musique) program form a jury to select the "coup de cœur" winner.

The winner will be announced at the awards ceremony on Tuesday, October 14 in the Salle Garnier.
