The Radio France Occitanie Montpellier Festival invites you to meet this year 2022 on the theme “So British” from July 11 to 29.
The Beatles, Shakespeare, Sting, Purcell, Elgar, Britten, James Bond… and the royal family, this is what our imagination of British culture boils down to… The 2022 Festival will therefore try to broaden our horizons, even if the task is an impossible mission: but the discoveries will be there as every summer.
