L'Offrande Musicale - Festival Hors Norme

A Humanist and Exceptional Festival

Imagined by the internationally renowned pianist David Fray, L'Offrande Musicale was born in 2021 with a dual ambition: to offer classical music concerts at the highest artistic level and to make music accessible to all, including people with disabilities. This unique humanist project in France reserves 20% of tickets for people with disabilities, offering them free access to concerts with adapted transport and personalized support.

Concerts in Exceptional Heritage Locations

The festival unfolds in the most beautiful heritage sites of the Hautes-Pyrénées, between Lourdes, Tarbes, and the surrounding valleys. The Auditorium de la Cité Saint-Pierre and the Salle Robert Hossein in Lourdes, the Théâtre Les Nouveautés in Tarbes, the Abbaye de l'Escaladieu in Bonnemazon, the Château de Montus in Castelnau-Rivière-Basse, the Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Piétat in Barbazan-Debat, and Le Parvis in Ibos host the festival's concerts.

World-Renowned Artists

David Fray surrounds himself with the greatest performers on the international classical scene. The Orchestre National de France, the Insula Orchestra conducted by Laurence Équilbey, pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja, horn player Felix Klieser — artist in residence from 2024 to 2026 — and many leading soloists perform each year as part of the festival.

A Territorial Project

Supported by the association Musiques et Solidarités en Hautes-Pyrénées, chaired by Jéselyne Vallé, L'Offrande Musicale shines throughout the department. The festival collaborates with the tourist offices of Tarbes and Lourdes, local authorities, and numerous cultural partners to offer an event that contributes to the cultural and tourist dynamism of the territory.
