The Saison Culturelle ACP: Live Music in Pau from October to March

The Saison Culturelle ACP is the annual program of concerts and shows organized by the Amis de la Chanson Populaire (ACP) in Pau. A Pau-based cultural association founded over forty years ago, ACP presents two major events: the summer festival Été à Pau and this autumn-winter season, which runs from October to March.

A Rich and Eclectic Program

The season offers a varied program that mixes French chanson, contemporary music, pop, rock, rap, jazz, blues, world music, comedy, and live performances. The ACP's goal is to provide an accessible and diverse cultural offering, capable of reaching all audiences and showcasing both established artists and emerging talents.
