    The five chamber music winners, hosted by Mons families from 24 November 2015, will attend a residency at Arsonic with the Musiques Nouvelles ensemble conducted by Jean-Paul Dessy, rehearsing until the concert of new work on 27 November. This [‘tactus] represents the culmination of a partnership between Flagey and Mons 2015.
