Festival de Pâques de Chartres

8th and Final Edition - Easter 2010

The eighth edition of the Festival de Pâques de Chartres marked the final chapter of a cultural and spiritual adventure that began in 2003. True to its spirit of openness, the festival offered a dense and varied program, bringing together artists from all musical backgrounds.

Sacred and classical music concerts at the cathedral were alongside rock sets, jazz evenings, and French chanson shows under the marquees. Theater, dance, and children's shows completed this multidisciplinary offering that made the event unique.

Unfortunately, growing financial difficulties prevented the holding of a ninth edition planned for 2011, bringing an end to this pioneering festival.

Highlights

• Final edition of an emblematic festival (8 years of existence)
• Multidisciplinary program true to the festival's spirit
• Exceptional concerts at Notre-Dame de Chartres Cathedral
• Shows under marquees in the city center
