Our new Town Hall Stage for duets and trios in partnership withx
We are delighted to welcome the AG2R La Mondiale Foundation for Artistic Vitality, as 2022 sponsor of the new Town Hall stage that will be dedicated to performing duets and trios. The Foundation is a strong supporter of local projects that preserve and promote France's regional artistic and cultural heritage. Without their support we would not be in a position to launch this new stage after the two difficult years of the pandemic.
We would particularly like to thank them for renewing their support in 2022 after it was first granted in 2020, and then again in 2021. Please read about the great work this foundation does to support artists and the arts. travel mandolin up for auctionFrench Luthier Jean Lacote has generously given us a new travel mandolin, specially made by him for the festival with "La Roche" engraved on the body.

It can be dismounted for easy carrying when travelling, and can be assembled for right or left handed players. It will be displayed at the festival with the possibility to try it out.
