The 17th edition of the Rocamadour Festival will take place from August 15 to 26. Ladepeche.fr and the Rocamadour Festival invite you to play to win your tickets for one of these four prestigious concerts at the foot of the city of Rocamadour.
Discoveries, exoduses, pilgrimages, these migrations mark humanity from its beginnings. Rocamadour, a pilgrimage route for a thousand years and today a major tourist destination, is a symbol of this very topical subject. This is why the Rocamadour festival, a real meeting place for music lovers, holidaymakers, Lotois and artists, places its 17th edition under this strong sign: migrations.
What is the link with the sacred music that the festival has carried since 2006?
Migrations are in the music itself and the spirituality it reveals, taking the public on Liszt’s Pilgrimage Route with Bertrand Chamayou, or even telling the story of the Stations of the Cross with The Passion according to Saint-Jean by JS Bach. The migrations are also those of very great artists who travel the world, such as Jordi Savall, William Christie and Renaud Capuçon, who will stop over in Rocamadour this summer.
The festival also operates a migration! It deploys its large outdoor stage to fit the size of the exceptional site of Rocamadour, and multiplies the concerts under the stars, deep moments of communion between music and celestial beauty.
