Festival Musique en Eure-et-Loir

Chamber music in the heart of the Perche

The Festival Musique en Eure-et-Loir invites music lovers to discover chamber music in exceptional heritage sites in the Eure-et-Loir Perche region. Over the years, this festival has established itself as a quality cultural event, offering concerts in churches, chapels, and historic residences in La Ferté-Vidame and its surroundings. The Réveillon chapel, a listed historic monument, is one of the privileged settings for this event.

A rich and eclectic program

The festival is distinguished by the diversity of its programming. Chamber music ensembles, soloists, duos, trios, and quartets perform in succession at the concerts, interpreting a repertoire ranging from baroque to contemporary, including classical and romantic periods. Schubert's Lieder, piano sonatas, string works, and vocal pieces are presented alongside forays into jazz and contemporary creations, offering spectators a particularly rich musical palette.

Talented artists in an intimate setting

One of the strengths of the Festival Musique en Eure-et-Loir lies in the proximity between artists and the public. The human-sized concert halls encourage attentive listening and privileged exchanges. High-level musicians, often from national conservatories and international stages, come to share their passion in this bucolic setting of the Perche. The acoustic quality of the chosen heritage sites contributes to creating a unique and memorable musical experience.

A festival accessible to all

Keen to make classical music accessible to as many people as possible, the festival maintains an attractive pricing policy with free admission for under 18s. Concerts generally take place on Saturday afternoons or evenings, over several weekends in the spring. This extended programming allows visitors to combine musical discovery with exploration of the natural and architectural heritage of the Perche.

The Perche, a land of culture and heritage

The festival is part of the rich cultural fabric of the Eure-et-Loir Perche region, a territory known for the beauty of its rolling landscapes, its manors, and its characterful villages. La Ferté-Vidame, with the ruins of its 18th-century castle and its listed park, offers an ideal setting for this encounter between music and heritage. The festival thus contributes to the cultural attractiveness of this preserved corner of Eure-et-Loir.
