More than forty years ago, in the early 1970s, Eliane Richepin began the Annecy tradition of annual summer season classical music celebrations. Then in 1980 she originated La Nuit du Piano ER for young aspiring musicians. On this seventh day of the Annecy Classic Festival, four rising stars: Benjamin Grosvenor (UK), David Fray (France), Anna Fedorova (Ukraine) and Li Siqian (China), played in her honour until midnight at the Imperial Palace Hotel.
