Bélaye Cello Encounters dominate the Lot

On a more classical basis, the twenty-eighth Bélaye Cello Encounters will be held from August 5 to August 12, 2016. Very famous artists will perform quality works paying tribute to Russian composers whose symphonic works have a wide circulation but whose repertoire for cello and chamber music is less known. The concerts will be organized mainly in the simple Bélaye church, with an exception for a concert in Martel where organs and cellos will be played together. For more information: rencontres de Bélaye.

In conclusion you’ll come across a musical style that suits you in this original choice offered by the Lot.
