I think *morning* is wrong. It should be *afternoon*. Traditionally 4.pm at the Batha Museum. I have not heard anything about changes in this dept. Three mornings are Fes Encounters -- the forum -- so I don't see how there could be concerts as well. Everything is very late this year.

I think Mary's right. Although the original programme in French says 'morning', the first concert of the day is more than likely to be the usual 4pm afternoon concert.
I really enjoyed your blog and nice pictures. Thank you for letting me take a virtual trip to Morocco.
