Concert of Light

Sunday 23 June 2024 at 6.00 am

The Chorège vocal ensemble and its conductor Fabien Volery have been invited to perform the first Concert de la Lumière in the Abbey Church in 2024. Their concert will focus on the theme of night and light, in perfect harmony with the dawn that dawns beneath the Romanesque vaults.
