At the hour when the sun, around the summer solstice, shines through the central window of the apse and everything awakens, come and experience a unique moment beneath the vaults of the largest Romanesque church in Switzerland.
Germany at the Dawn of the Baroque
Each year, one of the dawn concerts highlights the Abbatiale’s organ, built especially for early music. After a deep dive into early 17th-century Italian music, the 2025 programme journeys through the German regions, with works by M. Praetorius, S. Capricornus, H. Schütz, J. H. Schein, J. U. Steigleder…
A musical discovery – and just as striking are the luminous soprano voice of Annie Dufresne and the baroque violin of Emilie Mory: clear, radiant and… yellow like the morning light.
Unnumbered seating, doors open at 5:45 AM.
Free admission – collection.
Concert organized by the Association des concerts de Payerne.
