What: Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra Where: Grimaldi Forum, Auditorium Rainier III, Théâtre des Variétés   When: from 1 May 2012 to August 2012 Web: http://www.opmc.mc This summer, the Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra returns with a fabulous programme including works by Brahms, Beethoven and Bernstein. As well as the ever popular Music for Young Listeners on 9 May, there will be two more 'cine concerts' featuring the orchestra's interpretation of the soundtrack for Charlie Chaplin's classic satire Modern Times. In July and August, the scene shifts from the orchestra's home turf of the Auditorium Rainier III to the courtyard of the Prince's Palace for a suite of summer concerts performed and conducted by some of the world's greatest musicians, including Pinchas Zukerman, Gautier Capuçon, Ute Lemper and Lawrence Foster. The full programme of events is listed below. --Releases on the OPMC Classics labelUnder its late and much-missed conductor Yakov Kreizberg, the orchestra produced the first in a series of 'OPMC Classics', recordings which have already met with extremely favourable reviews. Available are a boxed set of Stravinsky (including the Firebird and the Rite of Spring), Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe with Debussy's L'apres-midi d'un Faune' and a selection of Rimsky-Korsakov, Borodin and Mussorgsky. Now they are joined by a limited edition vinyl release of extracts from Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherezade, Mussorgksy's Night on a Bare Mountain, and Rachmaninov's second Symphony.

For three balmy nights this summer,  join us in the open air amphitheatre in Cap d'Ail for jazz nights starring some of the most influential names in France today:  Joining 'la jolie môme' Mariannick Saint-Ceran will be the brilliant New York steel drummer Andy Narell, the combination bringing a funky Latino-Med feel to this event.  Also featured are pianist Antoine Hervé, and scat-saxophonist Daniel Huck. The 'Night under the Stars' has become quite a fixture in the 'Cap of Culture', and is one of several key events in the coming twelve months. WIth tickets at only ten or twelve euros, you shouldn't pass up the opportunity. Getting there by car or taxi: ten minutes' drive to the Cap from Monte Carlo, going west along Bvd Rainier III and on to the D6908 (Avenue 3 Septembre)  by foot: pick up the Sentier du Littoral (Coastal Path) for an easy hour's walk to the Cap, with stunning views to the sea. Your appetite for jazz will be well and truly sharpened by the hike!
