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. An a capella concert, in the exceptional atmosphere that characterises these musical moments around the summer solstice and the feasts of ss. John and ss. Peter and Paul.
