July 2002 : a concerts tour in western
France and in Chanel Islands :
July 23 : in the Basilic
of La Charité-sur-Loire (Bourgogne). A wonderful evidence of the clunisian art. The public was numerous for this
concert which took place in the International Music Academy of La Charité-sur-Loire.
July 24 : in the former abbey l'Etoile (in the east of Poitiers) whose animation, development and restoration are directed with
enthusiasm and love by the dynamic association Les Amis de l’Abbaye de l’Etoile.
July 25 with the splendid romanic church of Saint-Sauveur-de-Givre-en-Mai (near Bressuire,
in Poitou), a village rich in History, especially at the time of the attempt at Moslem conquest in the 8th century.
July 26 in the old church of Barneville, a beautiful building
located in this small port of Cotentin which faces in the island of Jersey, after having made a rehearsal in the
abbey church of Lessay. (right)
July 27 : in the cathedral of Dol-de-Bretagne, whose immense
nave gives a relief particular to the gregorian and medieval chants.
July 28 afternoon : in the St Peter's parish church of the
Mont-St-Michel, high-place of spirituality and History which one does not present
any more! This concert took place in the festival "Musicales Manche".
July 28 at evening, in the old church of Saint-Lunaire, near St Malo : a splendid
romanic church with exceptional acoustics.
July 29 at the parish church of St Hélier
(Jersey), beautiful gothic church of the island's capital, devant un public nombreux,
et particulièrement captivé par un répertoire qu'il n'a pas l'habitude d'entendre. Le site de la
Société Jersiaise
permet quant à lui de découvrir l'histoire de Jersey et de St Helier, le premier martyr
évangélisateur de l'île au VIème siècle, ainsi que le dialecte jersien, d'orgine normande.
July 30 at the parish St Brelade's church
July 31 at the parishchurch of St Peter Port (Guernsey)
August 2 : in Ste Ann of Alderney, a new gothic church on this very
small island, close the french coast.
In addition to an assured expatriation without going to seek far, this ground Norman incursion
and mainly anglican was the occasion to meet a public particularly music lover and is interested in the expression of Sacred.
The musical practice, in particular choral Chant, are important there. Concurrently to many concerts, an International
Choir Festival is held each year in Jersey.
