Launched in 1974 by his father Prince Rainier III of Monaco on the occasion of the 25 years of his reign, this festival is now under the responsibility of the princess. And the future seems assured since Stéphanie de Monaco passed on her passion to her daughter, Pauline Ducruet, who accompanies her every year at the Festival.

An anniversary in music. Prince Albert II of Monaco with his sisters, Princess Caroline of Hanover and Princess Stephanie of Monaco celebrated on Wednesday March 16th, the 50th anniversary of the Prince's Carabinieri Orchestra.

This great concert was a chance to do a good deed, since the benefits of the evening should be donated to associations. The evening's partner, Kiwanis Cub of Monaco will provide a check to the Monegasque association Adrien working for the benefit of sick children. For his part, Prince's Carabinieri Orchestra wished to submit a check to the Baby and Nepal Association, presided by HSH Princess Stephanie of Monaco.
