  • Noël a cap(p)ella with Les Métaboles

    Les Métaboles bring an a cappella selection of Christmas carols to Arc-et-Senans. Léo Warynski draws on lesser-known collections from Latin America and Africa, placing them alongside European and Caribbean songs. Antillean carols he sang as a child give the programme a personal thread, joining newly encountered scores with music that left a lasting impression on him.

  • Arsonora Early Music Festival

    Arsonora’s Invictae places medieval sacred repertoire inside Dinan’s early-music festival. Ensemble Irini gathers six female voices around Marian miracle stories, moving between the Llibre Vermell of Montserrat, Kassia’s hymns and Cypriot manuscript traditions. Directed by Lila Hajosi, the program joins voice, body and movement while the Fête des Remparts association ties the concert to Dinan’s historical setting.

  • Stras’Orgues 2026 — Festival of Strasbourg Organs

    Stras’Orgues is a dense, place-based festival built around one of Alsace’s most characteristic musical heritages: the organ. The 2026 programme moves through Strasbourg’s churches and chapels, from the cathedral to Saint-Paul, Saint-Thomas, Sainte-Aurélie, the Bouclier, Temple-Neuf and other historic venues. Its value is both musical and architectural. Visitors hear instruments that belong to specific buildings, traditions and acoustics, while the festival opens a route through the city’s sacred and Protestant-Catholic heritage. The programme includes recitals, open tribunes, walks from organ to organ and encounters that make the instrument visible as living heritage, not just as concert equipment. For a Grand Est culture map, this is a strong multisite entry because the locations are part of the experience.
