David Fray

Master class: David Fray

David FrayL'Offrande Musicale is a festival with many faces: the one that everyone can see at every concert with legendary artists, and another less well-known face at the moment, the many initiatives aimed at disabled audiences. But there is a third face: the powerful link with the artists of tomorrow through the day of public classes with David Fray organised in "his" chapel in Barbazan-Debat.

David Fray recently recorded his latest album, the Goldberg Variations, in the chapel, just a stone's throw from where he grew up. Which just goes to show how attached he is to this chapel. It's an ideal place, then, for teaching young pianists, the virtuosos of tomorrow.

The Gourdon Fund's "DEMAIN VIRTUOSES" programme offers the chance to see the work of an artist at the peak of his career. We invite you to watch some of the intense exchanges between the young pianists and David Fray during the first two editions on the Festival's YouTube channel.

The young pianists who have agreed to take part in David Fray's Masterclasses are already fine, talented artists. But they know that when it comes to art, there's no choice: you have to set the bar high and remain very humble in order to progress... When you lose the taste for it or don't give yourself the means, you go backwards.

Among world-renowned artists, few are generous enough to share their world - and very few - know how to find the simple, precise words to light the way for young people in their quest for excellence.

May these courses continue to help and inspire other young pianists ....

May these courses also continue to enchant a public (musician or not) in search of in-depth knowledge of works written for the piano...

Many thanks to David Fray!
