Musique Cordiale NEWS & UPDATES

FESTIVAL BOX OFFICE opened for the 2025 Festival at Easter!

The final version of the FESTIVAL PROGRAMME , 29 July – 9 August 2025, is now on the site and a variation of it is being printed for local distribution, along with posters. The poster features on the front page of the site and on the online BOX OFFICE page. Please take a look and book your tickets for all evening events around the Pays de Fayence (and also in Claviers) this summer. Lunch-time concerts continue to be FREE-ENTRY and a list of these will be published separately closer to the start of the festival to allow our talented musicians to meet and to add or create some spontaneous music together for these more informal but much-loved occasions. We will maintain our tradition of serving chilled vin rosé at all our musical events (in evening intervals or after concerts de midi-trente). At our 2 outdoor evening concerts at the old Gare in Seillans, we also invite you to arrive early with your own picnics and drinks to consume in the grounds. 29/06/2025

It proved to be a fabulous festival in Provence again in 2024; and now the plans and organisation of the next one have begun all over again. Join us again in 2025 for our 21st year! Meanwhile some reviews, images and recordings, including the Verdi Requiem (in Seillans and in Menton) and Verdi’s Traviata (in Tourrettes and in the new outdoor venue around the old station in Seillans) from the summer of ’24 will be published here soon! We look forward to seeing everyone again: keep the dates for this year’s International Musique Cordiale Festival in the Pays de Fayence, in the Var, Provence, France: 29 July – 9 August 2025
