And there is one more concert on the programme: “Webern – Berg – Beethoven” on Saturday 15 March 2025, at 7.30 pm in Centre de Conférences – One Monte-Carlo.
The first part of the Viennese diptych by the Quatuor Akilone string quartet this weekend: Webern’s aphorisms (Bagatelles op. 9) will be followed by the moving and intimate Lyric Suite by Alban Berg, and its model, Ludwig van Beethoven’s impressive String Quartet No. 13 with its climactic grand fugue.
On Sunday the Festival continues with a Documentary Screening on Sunday 16 March 2025, at 11 am in Cinéma des Beaux-Arts.
Boulez, 20th century. “Rythme, Musicales”, first broadcast on France 3 on 6 August 1988. “Harmonie, Musicales”, first broadcast on France 3 on 27 August 1988.
It is followed by the “Concert by Candlelight: Beethoven & Schönberg” at 5 pm in Théâtre Princesse Grace.
With special guests Sindy Mohamed and Henri Demarquette, the Quatuor Akilone continue their exploration of both Viennese Schools through a pair of pioneering pieces. The first is Ludwig van Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 16, concise, sharp, rich, and whose final exclamation “Es muss sein!” was the inspiration for everyone from Léo Ferré to Milan Kunderaz. The second piece is Arnold Schönberg’s Transfigured Night, a work of symphonic poetry and a fresh and inventive new vision of chamber music.

There are several interesting exhibitions going on in Monaco these days. For example, discover the new monographic exhibition by Portuguese artist Francisco Tropa, specially conceived for the Villa Paloma and featuring a previously unseen selection of sculptures, drawings, films and light projections.
The exhibition takes its names from pietre paesine (imaged stones), whose geological designs are evocative of painted landscapes, on the boundary of figuration and abstraction. This idea of an analogy between nature and technique is at the heart of Francisco Tropa’s work, which focuses on the conditions of appearance and perception of an image.
The Monaco Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology is delighted to invite you to discover its new temporary exhibition: The Butterfly Effect: The Pre-History of Animals, organised under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco. Explore whole rooms themed to the animal kingdom and biodiversity, and take a fascinating journey through archaeology and our natural history! It is open until Monday 1 December 2025, from 9 am to 6 pm in Musée d’Anthropologie Préhistorique.
Exhibition: “Agora, the Place of the Museum” is now open at Nouveau Musée National de Monaco – Villa Sauber.
Back in 2015, the NMNM debited its first ever LAB giving visitors a glimpse “behind the scenes of the museum”. Then in 2018, five guest artists were invited to produce their own musings on the very meaning of the museum itself. In 2025, as the Villa Sauber prepares to undergo a radical transformation, the NMNM is giving pride of place to its public-facing programmes, where the focus is on artists and promoting a wider sharing of art appreciation.
Of course there are other interesting events taking place in Monaco. If you want to learn more about them visit our Calendar.
So have fun and enjoy your weekend!
