Press conference on April 2nd, 2020:
First of all, we wish you are all in good health.
As you know, many festivals have already canceled their 2020 edition and you are probably wondering if ours will be maintained.
At the time being, we are working with this intent and anticipating the exceptional safety measures that we will need to implement but we still cannot confirm it will be maintained. We are waiting for more information from the government to make a final decision.
In order to hold the Festival in the best conditions, we have rescheduled all the “La Traverse” concerts to 2021, as well as the Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne concert. The concert is Saint-Alban d’Hurtières has been canceled.
We will soon inform you via this website on the holding of the Festival and the opening of the online ticketing.
We hope to have the pleasure to welcome you this summer in Valloire for a well deserved breath of fresh air and musical delight.
Until then, take good care of yourselves.
