Festival d'Hardelot: Seaside Classical Music

The Festival d'Hardelot is one of the oldest classical music festivals on the Côte d'Opale. With over 45 editions, it has established itself as a prime summer event for music lovers who appreciate the quality of its programming in the enchanting setting of the seaside resort of Neufchâtel-Hardelot.

Iconic Venues

The concerts take place in four iconic venues of the resort: the town center for open-air opening concerts, the Hôtel du Parc for intimate recitals, the Saint-Augustin Church for symphonic concerts and the Chamber Orchestra, and the Elizabethan Theatre of the Château d'Hardelot. This diversity of venues gives each concert a unique atmosphere.

A Program Between Classical and Jazz

The Festival d'Hardelot offers a program of about ten concerts mixing classical music and jazz. The greatest performers take turns interpreting the works of Mozart, Bach, Schubert, Ravel, Purcell, and Wagner/Liszt. Jazz concerts punctuate the program, with artists such as Christian Morin and Gordon Sax. The Orchestre de Chambre Nouvelle Europe also offers a unique concert.

An Accessible and Friendly Festival

The Festival d'Hardelot stands out for its very accessible prices: 25 euros per concert for adults, 15 euros for students and job seekers, and free for children under 14 accompanied. Preludes to concerts are also organized at 6 p.m. to deepen the discovery of the works.
