Happy birthdays !
10
years of meetings in Vézelay
It was ten years ago...Exactly ten years. The Rencontres Musicales de Vézelay were born under the auspices of J.S.Bach whose 250th anniversary was being celebrated the world over. They were the beginning of a happy decade in the course of which famous artistes and ensembles came in company of Arsys Bourgogne to celebrate the splendours of Euterpe, at the foot of the Vézelay hill, under the age-old vaults of the Saint Madeleine basilica who this year is celebrating its 30 years as a listed UNESCO Word Heritage site.

Programme 2009
Handel on
the eternal hill
These will be four exceptional days celebrating the splendours and brilliance of choral tones
and a double tribute will be rendered to:
1) Handel, whose greats works are, this year, being celebrated the world over. Three extraordinary oratorios will resound under the vaults of the Saint-Marie Madeleine Basilica : the splendid and youthful Resurrezione, the moving Theodora and the virtuoso Israel in Egypt.
2) the Arsys Bourgogne choir, that its founder and conductor, Pierre Cao, has hoisted to be amongst the best European ensembles in less than 10 years.
Come to find the vocal quintessence of the invited artists and ensembles, coming from London, Seville, Prague, Cologne and elsewhere.
