The 23rd Antibes Sacred Art Festival will take place until September 28 at the Cathedral and the Chapel Saint-Bernardin, featuring exceptional concerts of great works from the repertoire, chamber music, and sacred voices.
Among the highlights of this edition: Mozart’s Great Mass in C minor for choirs, orchestra, and soloists; a musical evocation of Monteverdi, or an evening centered around Vivaldi’s moving Stabat Mater.
Also noteworthy are the exhibitions by Jacqueline Perino-Buroc (Icons) and Irina Habibova (Paintings) at the Bains-Douches Gallery, which complete this exceptional program.
