The festival La Folle journée Cité des congrès | Nantes
Meeting at the Cité des Congrès in Nantes for the 29th edition of La Folle Journée Festival
What is La Folle Journée?
Created in 1995 by René Martin, who is the artistic director, La Folle Journée de Nantes is a musical event dedicated to classical music, which shatters the codes.
This unique cultural event aims to desacralize classical music, while maintaining a certain level of excellence. It allows a wider audience to discover and appreciate this musical style.
Live a total and immersive experience at the heart of music
The event is a unique gathering place, which brings together the public, artists and other actors of the music scene for 5 days.
Meet great artists from all over the world. Each year, the event federates the public around a major trend in history, a composer or a theme.
The theme of the 2023 edition
This year, the theme chosen for La Folle Journée is "Ode to the Night", in the image of the Baroque era.
Inspired by the nocturnal concerts that could be attended in the 17th century during Lent. In churches and chapels, before sunrise, one could hear religious music, lit by candlelight. It is indeed at nightfall that artists and musicians found inspiration.
