Week 31
Chamber Orchestra of Gironde
32nd Annual Gensac Music Festival
Gensac Church Sunday 28 July and Sunday 4 August
The “ancien village” of Gensac and the Chamber Orchestra of Gironde have been close friends for more than thirty years! From the start, Gensac has warmly hosted the music festival: now the musicians come back each season to find “their” village, while the local residents await “their” musicians. The musicians are housed by locals, the public has free entry to rehearsals and the popular after-concert receptions bring everyone together for a drink and a chant.
This summer artistic Director Scott Sandmeier has gathered musicians of international renown for an exceptional program of “Grand Concerts” and “Concerts Découvertes,” with works of Mozart, Debussy, Sarasate, Volkmann, Nielsen, Abel/Mozart, Glass, Finzi, Haydn…
The Gensac Concert Découverte Sunday 28 July offers a selection of not-oft-performed musical oeuvres, and the Gensac Grand Concert Sunday 4 August will feature the renowned American pianist Stephanie Gurga performing the “Tirol Concerto for Piano” by Philip Glass.
The Festival is also welcomed in the churches of Lapouyade, Rauzan, Montagne, Ste-Croix-du-Mont and at the Fondation John Bost in La Force.
