The Rencontres in previous years

Since its foundation, the Rencontres Musicales de Vézelay Festival has been constructed each year around a central theme, presented in music by illustrious ensembles, always including Arsys Bourgogne,  conducted by Pierre Cao.


2008 Programme

Musics in the courts
and chapels of Europe

21st to 24th August 2008

4 days of pure delight with 3 concerts per day, excellence to be found equally in the programme proposed as in the Arsys Bourgogne choir itself, present for the final concert, which in few years, has climbed to the firmament of choirs world-wide. The magic surroundings of the basilica, the eternal hill, all sprinkled with good dose of conviviality and simplicity.
