Proposed by Cecil Gallois
Cecil Gallois, artistic director and co-founder of the Tarentule ensemble, is honoured to present the first edition of "Les Ravissements de Châteauneuf-du-Pape” festival and sketch a historic and artistic fresco of the period around the year 1600. The festival symbolises an opportunity to connect the papal history of Châteauneuf with the event's primary ambition, which is to truly bring the arts, in all their forms - music, dance, theatre - to life, so that there is never a dull moment for local residents.

The first edition of the festival will draw to a close with the "canons" of Henry Purcell, as well as other Renaissance drinking songs. These songs, like the Gabrieli concert, are the result of workshops with choristers from the region, under the direction of Cecil Gallois in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It will all be performed "glass in hand" at the centre of the village, at "la Mule du Pape" wine bar. We look forward to seeing many of you there!
