In 2022, the cellist Olivia Gay created "The Silence of the Forest", an initiative that aims to raise public awareness of the preservation of forests on the national territory. Throughout France, in partnership with the National Forestry Office, she is organizing a series of classical musicconcerts in the heart of the forests, accompanied by a piano on a mobile stage. In May and June 2023, enjoy these timeless moments in three locations in the Ile-de-France, in the Yvelines and in Seine-et-Marne.
