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.

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.
