Classical music festival in the heritage sites of Périgord Noir since 1989
Founded in 1989 by a group of classical music enthusiasts in the Romanesque church of Audrix, the Musique en Périgord Festival offers concerts every summer in the heritage sites of Périgord Noir: churches, castles, charming villages between Vézère and Dordogne. The festival hosts established artists and young performers, promotes quality music in rural areas, and offers affordable prices for everyone.
Since 1989, the Musique en Périgord Festival has filled the most beautiful heritage sites of Périgord Noir with classical music. Born in the Romanesque church of Audrix, a village between Vézère and Dordogne, the festival has grown while remaining true to its origins: offering quality concerts in intimate and authentic settings.
Concerts take place in magical locations: the church of Audrix, the abbey of Saint-Cyprien, the church of Saint-Chamassy, the International Centre for Prehistory in Les Eyzies, the banks of the Vézère in Le Bugue, the park of Château de Campagne, and the cathedral of Sarlat.
The festival pursues several objectives: to host established artists as well as promising young performers, to promote and foster a love for quality music in rural areas, and to offer accessible performances for everyone at moderate prices. The programming alternates between baroque, classical, romantic music, 20th-century music, vocal repertoire, and convivial aperitif concerts.
The 38th edition of the Musique en Périgord Festival is confirmed for summer 2026. Classical music concerts in the heritage sites of Périgord Noir. Dates and program to be announced.
