After Zwerm's succesfull performance at the Palais the Tokyo beginning of may, François Sarhan invited us again for a performance of his music, this time in the very exceptional location of Chateau Chambord in the beautiful Loire-region. Zwerm performed Sarhan's music on boats outside the castle, with the audience approaching from inside the castle. An exceptional setting, check out some of the fotos here!
