The Ensemble Trecanum was invited from the festival "Hohenloher Kultursommer". The acoustics of this church amplify the voices and emphasize the timbres and make the modality of the Chant stand out.

September 20 : concert at the Stadtkirche of Bienne (Swiss), a gothic church located in the central square of the old city ;

October 5 : concert at the former abbey church of the abbey of Surbourg (near Haguenau, in northern Alsace), dedicated to Saint Arbogast, his founder, who evangelized this area and whose memory remains very popular. This church testifies to the oldest convent of Alsace. (left)
