Coup de Cœur des Jeunes Mélomanes

ACADEMIE RAINIER III

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 several prizes, on the recommendation of three councils - literary, musical and artistic - made up of internationally renowned personalities.
