Descriptif

From May 4 to 10, 2024, the festival will present its 20th edition. On this occasion, we'll be embarking on a musical voyage around the world, following the travels of Pierre Loti. This year, we'll be going to the Americas, North and South, to see how French music has influenced the musical production of countries across the Atlantic, and also how these cultures, far from our metropolis, have nourished the inspirations of our national authors and composers.
