Les Musicales du Golfe: Classical Music Navigates the Golfe du Morbihan

Since the early 1990s, Les Musicales du Golfe have brought classical music and jazz to life in the most beautiful venues of the Golfe du Morbihan. This itinerant festival offers a series of concerts every summer in the towns bordering this exceptionally beautiful inland sea.

An Itinerant Festival Between Land and Sea

The originality of Les Musicales du Golfe lies in its itinerant format. Concerts move from town to town, taking over remarkable heritage sites: churches, chapels, characterful halls, and open-air spaces. For the 2025 edition, the festival navigated between Baden, Ploeren, l'Île-d'Arz, Sarzeau, Séné, Saint-Avé, offering 11 concerts in 9 different venues.

Exceptional Artists

The artistic direction, led by flutist Juliette Hurel, guarantees a high-level program blending internationally renowned artists and promising young talents. Piano recitals, string quartets, chamber music ensembles, jazz formations, and vocal concerts make up an eclectic program within the classical and contemporary repertoire.

An Intimate and Privileged Setting

The venues chosen for the concerts offer exceptional acoustics and an intimate atmosphere that brings the audience closer to the musicians. The reduced capacity of these heritage spaces creates a rare proximity between artists and spectators, making each concert a unique musical experience.

The Golfe du Morbihan as a Setting

The festival takes advantage of the exceptional natural setting of the Golfe du Morbihan, ranked among the most beautiful bays in the world. Festival-goers can combine their musical journey with the discovery of the landscapes, islands, and heritage of this exceptional territory.
