Music
in the
Auvergne
-
"Music-valley"
is the high valley of the river Allier, covering the rural district
areas of Brioude and
Langeac, in the department of Haute Loire, Auvergne,
southern
France.
The music
season
in the valley is a relaxed affair, and unique in rural France by its
extent and its duration. The venues are mostly small, the
performers good - often top quality, but the prices reasonable. Some
concerts are
"give what you want", some are free, most are less than 20 Euros. Only
the full concerts in the basilica at Brioude and those organised by the
La Chaise Dieu music festival are a bit more. Unlike any other summer
music programme in rural France (and there are plenty of them), this is
a fringe without a festival, two months of music for
pleasure, organised by musicians themselves, volunteers, villages and
cultural associations.Musique
