3rd Edition — An Expanded Repertoire and Unprecedented Encounters
The third edition of the Rencontres Musicales de La Baule, from July 9th to 17th, 2025, confirmed the festival's ambition by offering an even richer program, blending classical, romantic, and gypsy jazz music.
A Repertoire from Bach to Django Reinhardt
The 2025 program explored a vast repertoire: from Bach and Vivaldi to the masterpieces of Mozart and Beethoven, through the romantic accents of Schubert and Brahms, the colors of the 20th century with Fauré, Ravel, and Enesco, to the jazz sounds of Django Reinhardt.
Highlights of the 2025 Edition
On July 11th, a Schubertiade brought together the festival artists around the world of Schubert. On July 12th, the concert 'The Three Great Bs' celebrated Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms with François Salque (cello), Céleste Klingelschmitt (violin), Cassandra Teissèdre (viola), and Laure Cholé (piano).
On July 14th, Renaud Capuçon and Guillaume Bellom reunited for a special concert at the Parc des Dryades Amphitheater. On July 15th, Iris Scialom (named Instrumental Revelation at the Victoires de la Musique Classique 2025), Camille Fonteneau, and the Academy String Orchestra offered a concert bringing together young talents and established artists.
On July 17th, the festival concluded with a tribute to Django Reinhardt by François Salque (cello) and the legendary guitarist Biréli Lagrène, accompanied by Samuel Strouk (guitars) and Jérémie Arranger (double bass), featuring works by Piazzolla, Reinhardt, Grappelli, Charlie Parker, and a world premiere by Samuel Strouk.
