You can also encounter some folk and nostalgic rock music playing and singing. To conclude the festivities in true Musique Cordiale style, Graham Ross will conduct Haydn’s Oratorio ‘The Seasons’ (in German) and an a capella concert, another ‘German Feast’ of sublime choral masterpieces by Bach & Schutz + around 20 varied concerts in the Pays de Fayence and elsewhere in Provence.
