Opus Yvelines association

Opus Yvelines was created as a 1901 French law association at the instigation of René Girard and his daughter Christine and Anne Queffélec is its Honorary President.

Son objectif est de promouvoir la performance musicale et plus particulièrement de faire connaître les jeunes musiciens interprètes. Dans cet objectif, elle organise le Concours International de Piano d'Ile-de-France à Maisons-Laffitte.
