About Le Vent sur l'Arbre

Since 2002, the Le Vent sur l'Arbre festival has brought chamber music to the heart of Morvan. Directed by violinist Anna Göckel, it offers five days of concerts in August in exceptional locations: the church of Millay, Saint-Honoré-les-Bains, and the archaeological site of Bibracte. An intimate musical experience in a preserved natural and heritage setting.

Le Vent sur l'Arbre: Chamber Music in the Heart of Morvan

The Le Vent sur l'Arbre festival is an invitation to experience chamber music in exceptional locations in the heart of the Nivernais Morvan. For over twenty years, this intimate and demanding festival has brought classical music to remarkable villages and heritage sites, creating a unique dialogue between art and territory.

An Inspired Artistic Direction

Under the artistic direction of violinist Anna Göckel, the festival builds each edition around a strong theme that guides the programming and enriches the listening experience. In 2025, the festival explores the links between music and meditation; in 2026, it will celebrate its 25th anniversary with the theme "The Voices of Music".

Exceptional Venues

Concerts unfold in remarkable heritage sites in the Nièvre region:

  • The Church of Millay, the cradle of the festival, offers exceptional acoustics
  • Saint-Honoré-les-Bains, a historic spa town
  • Bibracte, a former Gallic capital and major archaeological site (a concert ticket grants free access to the Bibracte Museum)
  • Other heritage sites in the region

Demanding and Eclectic Programming

The festival invites top-level chamber musicians, soloists, and ensembles, for original programs mixing classical, romantic, and contemporary repertoire. Each concert is conceived as a complete musical experience, where the quality of the performance is nourished by the beauty of the locations.

Strong Territorial Anchoring

Le Vent sur l'Arbre does more than just program concerts: it actively participates in the cultural life of Morvan by creating partnerships with local institutions, notably Bibracte, and by offering free events and cultural mediation. The festival thus contributes to the influence of Morvan's heritage while providing access to classical music in a rural setting.
