From August 6 to 20, 2025, the 28th edition of the Rencontres Musicales de Figeac took over the characteristic sites of Figeac and its surroundings: the Abbatiale Saint-Sauveur, the Abbaye de Loc Dieu, the castles of Saint-Dau and Béduer, as well as the churches of neighboring villages.

The festival featured a show around Victor Hugo combining poetry and music, as well as seven-century-old sacred chants performed in Romanesque churches. On August 12, a free concert by students and master-class participants was held at Place des Écritures, followed by a piano recital by Alexandra Lescure at the church of Faycelles with works by Royer, Scarlatti, Duphly, Chopin, and Mozart.
On August 13 and 14, the main concerts featured Bach's Concerto in D minor for two violins and Mozart's Great Mass in C minor, performed by the festival's choir and orchestra at the Abbaye de Loc Dieu and the Église Saint-Sauveur in Figeac.
