Arno & Léo Ferré, a musical tribute

Stad Oostende brings a musical tribute to Arno and Léo Ferré, singer-poet from Monaco. Léo Ferré is to Monaco what Arno is to Ostend, a musical icon strongly intertwined with the City. In 1995 Arno released the song 'Comme à Ostende' on the album Arno à la Française where he sang about his love for chansons. The music was written by Léo Ferré. The tribute is a celebration of both singers and the town twinning or sister bond between Ostend and Monaco since 1958. Het Conservatorium by the Sea and the Académie Rainier III of Monaco are collaborating and bringing both new compositions and music by Arno and Léo Ferré. Additionally, Serge Feys and Patrick Riguelle will play several songs by both artists, just like the Ostend choir Ier and Gunter. Danser Koen De Preter brings an intimate solo on a song by Leo Ferré.
