Whether you are a discerning music lover or a novice, and if you have not yet done so, one day, you will come to Saintes.
To come to Saintes is to delve into music through universal masterpieces such as Mozart’s, Haydn’s, Dvořàk’s and Brahms’ symphonies, Bach’s motets, Schubert’s “Death and the Maiden” and many, many more.
It is also to open yourself to creation. The festival has always been the opportunity to seek out and perform rare or unknown works.
All roads lead to the abbey: familiar and sign-posted or back roads, take your pick!
Stephan Maciejewski, artistic director.
