• FECAVA LILLE 2009 Eurocongress Evening :

- The Eurocongress Cultural Evening will begin with a Concert presented by the Lille National Orchestra at the "Nouveau Siècle".

In 2004, Lille was named European Capital of Culture. Through this special evening, we hope to convey the “European spirit” to which the capital of Flanders is securely tied.

The term “gala” no longer applies; we prefer to replace it with “Congress Evening”. Exceptionally, as we wish to celebrate with all our European veterinary colleagues, this special evening will be free for all congress attendees.

The Evening will be comprised of two parts. First, the Lille National Orchestra, one of the most highly acclaimed in France, and also famous in Belgium for its high-quality repertoire, will present a (deliberately) European-themed concert at the “Nouveau Siècle”.

The second half of the evening will include a private visit to the Lille Palais des Beaux Arts, which houses a splendid collection of European paintings ... everything from the more primitive Flemish masters (i.e. Rubens...) to Vermeer, Goya, LeGreco, Courbet, and Manet. For those who have never visited this magnificent museum, it is ranked second in France for its wealth of masterpieces. And we've reserved it all for you !
