Festival de Sablé

47th Edition — Bach in the Spotlight

The 2025 edition of the Festival de Sablé celebrated Jean-Sébastien Bach in all his facets. The festival opened with choreographer Béatrice Massin and the recreation of her piece Que ma joie demeure, a jubilant dialogue between revisited baroque dance and Bach's music.
