In 2025, Hoshi invites you to discover its UNPLUGGED tour on Saturday 4th October 2025 at 8 p.m. in Salle des Princes – Grimaldi Forum Monaco.

It was while stumbling across Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged that the idea came to Hoshi: to revisit his repertoire in an acoustic version. The project reflects her desire to get to the heart of the matter, to rediscover a certain intimacy, and to offer her audience a sincere, emotional musical experience.

Surrounded by her musicians, she breathes new life into each song: from the staples of her repertoire to her most personal tracks. In this uncluttered setting, every note, every word, takes on a new, touching depth.

20th Monaco International Organ Festival
@www.festivalorguemonaco.com

Monaco International Organ Festival is back. The Festival invites you to four concerts featuring diverse programs that showcase the rich instrumental heritage of the Principality, taking place at the Cathedral, the Church of the Sacred Heart, and Saint Charles Church.

The opening concert at the Cathedral (on 4 October 2025 at 8.30 pm) is part of the celebrations for the Three Jubilee Years of Saint Thomas Aquinas: his birth (1225), his death (1274), and his canonization (1323). For this occasion, his relics will be brought to the Principality, and the organ will feature some of the masterpieces of Johann Sebastian Bach, thus celebrating the connection between these two remarkable figures—a composer and a philosopher.
