The Rencontres de Chants Polyphoniques de Calvi return from 15 to 19 September 2026 with a major gathering of Corsican and Mediterranean vocal traditions. Carried by U Svegliu Calvese, the festival has long placed island polyphony in dialogue with other voices from the Mediterranean and beyond. The Citadelle de Calvi gives the concerts a powerful setting, where stone, sea and historic town life become part of the listening experience. This is one of the strongest regional music entries for Corsica because it treats polyphony as heritage, creation and encounter at the same time.
