About the Festival

Through a successful 10

th edition, the Rocamadour Festival has attracted a

large audience and won its bet: offering to this exceptional place a large-

scale cultural special-event.

Charmed by this picturesque site, Emmeran Rollin, Laetitia Corcelle and

Enguerrande De Hys have been bringing their originality and expertise

since 2014. They developed an audacious programme, innovative and

unique, which has enable the Festival to become the must-seen event in the

area.

From the 5th to the 26

th of August 2016, the festival of Rocamadour will be

offering within the unique acoustic of the Basilica of Rocamadour, an

ambitious and surprising programme throughout the course of 10 major

nights.

In exclusivity, the festival will offer timeless sacred music masterpieces such as

the Rossinni little mass in opening, the Mozart’s Requiem or the Vivaldi’s

Gloria directed by Herve Niquet.

As part of our Talent Discovery Program, the festival allows young artists to

create and offer their own musical ensemble, giving them the chance to

become professionals. Ensemble like “la Pellegrina”, specialised in German

baroque music, will play its first concert during the Festival, another

ensemble like “Exosphere” (created in 2015 at the festival) will have the

chance to perform again this year. In addition, Christopher Gibert, resident

of the Festival, has been ordered a new piece of work in homage to Francis

Poulenc.

Very talented, young or experienced artists, famous pieces of work or

unique novelties will be presented in the course of four great themes which

will give this 11th edition its tempo: the 1

st theme will highlight the link unifying

Rocamadour to Francis Poulenc, the 2nd

will bring people to a “Promenade

Baroque” giving a large place to music from the XVII and XVIII centuries.

Furthermore, another theme around the piano and the cello, will propose

more exclusive and private evenings, the “Great Soloist nights”. The last

theme will interlace the charm of the music of Hildegarde von Bingen with

the most beautiful cities in the area and their heritage.
