Bach in the heart of Périgord Noir
The Belvès Bach Festival is one of the major musical events in Périgord Noir. For over 25 years, it has celebrated the work of Johann Sebastian Bach and his contemporaries in historic locations: the church of Belvès, the abbey of Cadouin, and the abbey of Saint-Avit-Sénieur.
A program between tradition and discovery
The festival offers five exceptional concerts to discover or rediscover Bach's works for organ, as a soloist, or enriched within an orchestra. The program deliberately mixes a free opening concert to introduce the general public to classical music and a series of concerts for a more informed audience.
Renowned artists
The festival hosts prestigious ensembles such as the Ensemble Baroque de Toulouse, brass quintets, and renowned organ soloists, offering high-level performances in the remarkable acoustics of the Romanesque and Gothic buildings of Périgord.
