“A visionary with grand ambitions,” a “brilliant cultural leader, ” with a “sharp and profound”perspective: Frédéric Deval is being honored this Thursday evening, October 19.
He passed away in 2016 and was a renowned programmer and producer in the world music sector, particularly for his transcultural music program at the Royaymont Foundation. He had created a space where boundaries dissolved to give rise to new forms of expression, and had turned the stage into a meeting place where multiple identities could find their place. For Frédéric Deval, the musical experience was a profound reflection that brought together the humanities and music. This resonates here at the Haizebegi Festival, where these two fields engage in dialogue every day.
