Scenes like jewel cases

For the Belen Festival, Beaune becomes a living score, with stages following one another like musical staves: the Collégiale Notre-Dame, the Théâtre de Verdure, the Place Carnot and the Parc de la Bouzaize change atmosphere like a change of tempo. The sacred reverberation of a collegiate church blends with the free flights of an open-air concert. Beaune is not only the capital of wine, it is also the capital of live music.

A high-flying programme

For the duration of a concert, you can travel between continents, influences and emotions. Barbara Pravi, Ayo, Yuri Buenaventura, Orange Blossom and Élodie Frégé have all made their voices heard under the Burgundian sky. The Belen spirit? The spirit of Belen is to create a dialogue between contemporary music and play with styles like a jazzman with his scales: surprises, daring and improvisations guarantee a unique sound experience.


The art of living

After the final chord, head for a terrace, glass of Burgundy in hand, to extend the experience. The conviviality continues like a long-awaited reminder of the Route des Grands Crus, which then becomes the soundtrack to a sensory journey where music, heritage and pleasure meet.
