Notes Océanes: Classical Music by the Ocean

Since 2022, the Notes Océanes festival has brought classical chamber music to the heart of Pays Bigouden, in South Finistère. The festival offers an exceptional musical experience in a unique maritime and heritage setting.

Exceptional Venues

Notes Océanes stands out for its choice of concert venues, which fully contribute to the musical experience. The Romanesque church of Loctudy, with its remarkable acoustics and 12th-century sculpted capitals, hosts the main concerts. The Kerenez estate, along the river, offers an intimate setting for chamber music. The Notre-Dame de la Mer church in Lesconil completes this trio of exceptional venues.

A High-Caliber Program

Under the artistic direction of the Trio à cordes de Paris, the festival features exceptional musicians from the greatest French and international ensembles. The programs explore the classical repertoire from Bach to Piazzolla, including Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Vivaldi, Dvořák, Fauré, and Ropartz. The discovery concerts allow the public to get acquainted with chamber music in a relaxed and accessible atmosphere.

Intimate and Accessible Concerts

Notes Océanes offers intimate concerts where the audience is close to the musicians, creating a privileged relationship between artists and listeners. The festival caters to both seasoned music lovers and novices, with reduced-price discovery concerts and educational presentations of the performed works. This accessible and warm approach makes Notes Océanes a unique summer event in South Finistère.
