📋About
Le Festival en Poitou revient du 31 juillet au 9 août 2026 pour une nouvelle édition placée sous le thème « Syntropie », l'art de croître ensemble dans la nature. Treize concerts se déploient dans des lieux patrimoniaux du Poitou : l'église de Quinçay, le Pressoir du Château de Chiré-en-Montreuil, la Collégiale Notre-Dame de Mirebeau, l'église de Mazeuil et la Chapelle de Cramard. La programmation entrelace les répertoires de musique de chambre, des maîtres classiques aux créations contemporaines, avec un hommage particulier rendu à la compositrice Sofia Goubaïdoulina.
Parmi les temps forts de cette édition, une soirée jazz est portée par le Memories Trio, tandis que le récitant Arnaud Frémont accompagne les concerts-lectures « À la découverte de Schubert » et « Les Contes de Lumen ». Le violoncelliste Guy Danel et le pianiste Orlando Bass, figures fidèles du festival, se produisent aux côtés du Quatuor Cavatine, du Trio Erämaa, du Trio Becel et du Trio Wilhelm, dans les églises, châteaux et jardins qui font la signature du festival.
