Forêt de Gargilesse au Festival de Gargilesse!

Le Festival d’été de Gargilesse, pour sa 56è édition,; qui se déroulera du 6 au 20 août 2023, aura le plaisir de célébrer les 130 ans de la naissance de son fondateur, Pierre Jamet… et les 90 ans de sa Présidente d’honneur, Marie-Claire Jamet !
Comme chaque année, le festival innove : le 12 août 2023 aura la particularité d’accueillir sept harpes, comme les sept couleurs de l’arc-en ciel, les sept notes de la gamme et les sept pédales d’une harpe ! Une forêt de harpes va investir l’église romane de Gargilesse, dont quatre seront réparties dans la nef et les transepts, pour interpréter Forêt de Gargilesse de Tôn Thât Tiêt : lui aussi fêtera ses 90 ans avec ce dernier opus composé lors de sa dernière visite dans le village de Gargilesse et qui sera présent pour le concert! 

For this 56th edition of the Gargilesse Summer Festival, which will run from August 6 to 20, 2023, we will be pleased to celebrate the 130th year of the birth of its founder, Pierre Jamet as well as the 90th birthday of his Honorary President, Marie-Claire Jamet!
As for every passing year, the festival will innovate: for this edition, a special concert will be held on August 12 at the Roman church of the town. The audience will hear and see Forêt de Gargilesse, a piece that Tôn Thât Tiêt composed for seven harps – like the seven colours of the rainbow, the seven notes of the scale or the seven pedals of the harp! The harps will be playing from seven spots in the nave and transepts of the church, a magical immersive musical experience envisioned by the composer during his last visit, when he walked in the woods that surround the town. And as things never happen for no reason, Tôn Thât Tiêt will also celebrate his 90th birthday this year and will be present at this concert. A wonderful celebration this will be!
