I will explain how the Riemann-Hilbert problem associated to isomonodromic deformations of rank $2$ linear systems with $n$ regular singular points on $\mathbb{P}^1$ can be solved by taking suitable linear combinations of conformal blocks of the Virasoro algebra at $c=1$. This implies a similar representation for the isomonodromic tau function. In the case $n=4$, it provides the general solution of the Painlev'e VI equation in the form of combinatorial sum over pairs of Young diagrams.
