Festival Musique à la Source

An itinerant festival at the heart of Creuse's heritage

Since its creation in 2019, the Festival Musique à la Source transforms the most beautiful heritage sites of Creuse into ephemeral concert halls. Romanesque churches, medieval chapels, abbeys, and historical sites host internationally renowned musicians for intimate concerts where the natural acoustics of the venues enhance the artistic performances.

A rich program from medieval to contemporary

The festival's program covers an exceptional musical spectrum, ranging from the medieval repertoire to the contemporary, including classical, romantic, baroque, and renaissance repertoires. The festival also invites world music artists, creating bridges between the musical traditions of the whole world. Each concert is designed to harmonize with its venue, offering a unique sensory experience combining music and architecture.

A cultural ambition serving the territory

Supported by the association Musique à la Source, the festival pursues an ambitious mission: to make scholarly music accessible to the greatest number while promoting the architectural heritage of Creuse. By investing in rural towns sometimes far from traditional cultural circuits, the festival creates a cultural dynamic throughout the territory, attracting a mixed audience of local residents, tourists, and music lovers who come specifically for the event.
