firms: become a partner of the Rencontres Musicales de Vézelay

concert goers: become a "friend of the Rencontres Musicales de Vézelay"

The Rencontres Musicales de Vézelay have become, in the span of nine years, a ‘must’ for lovers of vocal music: the most reputed professional choirs and orchestras from all over Europe meet up at the end of August for eight concerts around a given theme chosen by Pierre Cao, the artistic director: 2006 celebrated Mozart and his contemporaries, 2007 took us to discover sacred music from near and far. 2008 will be devoted to music in the courts and chapels of Europe.

Famous names make a point of being there: Jordi Savall and the Concert des Nations, La Capella reial de Catalunya, Concerto Köln, Daniel Reuss and the Rias Kammerchor de Berlin, Cantus Cölln, Christophe Coin and the Ensemble baroque de Limoges, l’ensemble Gilles Binchois, les Basses Réunies de Bruno Cocset, the Nederlands Kamerkoor, the Schola Gregoriensis de Prague, Arsys Bourgogne, and many more.

The specialised national and international press (“Les Rencontres Musicales de Vézelay bring Vocal Art to its heights”, August 2004) and the general public (more the 4000 people over 4 days, figure which is constantly rising) are unanimous about the quality of the concerts which are presented. We like the atmosphere of the Rencontres to be simple and friendly, the general public mixing with the artists in the streets or gardens of the “eternal hill” of the basilica.

We can decide together which formula suits you best: sponsorship, patronage, a financial donation, a donation of goods. The new financial laws allowing for renewed expansion of cultural patronage (the real cost to you amounting only to 40 % of your donation) lets build this project around Vocal Art together. We would hope to proceed in this alliance taking care for mutual enrichment, so we will leave our future partners enough space for action to allow their personal strategy find favourable ground for growth inside our project.
