Musiques et Vignes à Fontevraud
English version
The festival Musiques et Vignes en Confluence was created in 2022 by French violinist Bernard Zinck who wanted to celebrate chamber music and the award-winning vineyards of the Loire Valley. The festival promotes the Loire heritage on the border between Touraine and Anjou, in the magical setting of Fontevraud-l'Abbaye, the Loire and the Vienne Confluence, classified in 2022 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
For our fourth edition, the festival is mourning the loss of our beloved president, Emmanuelle Zinck. As a result, we will only present one chamber music concert this summer. The concert featuring the TRIO D'YS will take place on July 12, 2025 at 7.30pm in the Church of Saint-Michel, in Fontevraud-l'Abbaye. The wine tasting following the concert will be on the presbyter grounds next to the church. Our formula remains the same: a chamber music concert featuring original and interesting repertoire following by an alfresco wine tasting where audience members and artists can mingle while tasting
local wine.
Saturday July 12 at 7.00pm: The TRIO D'YS (Pianist Carole Chicha, violinist Bernard Zinck, cellist, Emmanuel Boulanger) will perform Edouard Lalo Piano trio no. 3 opus 26 and Dimitri Shostakovich Piano trio No. 2 Opus 67. The wine tasting starts at 8.30pm in the garden of the parish house next to the church.
The detailed repertoire and artists bios for all four concerts can be found in the "Programmation" section.

Wine Producers/Partners
The vineyards of the Loire Valley cover nearly 70,000 hectares of vines and include four wine regions: Pays Nantais, Anjou, Touraine and Centre.
The third largest wine region in France, along with Bordeaux and Bourgogne, the Loire Valley produces red, white and rosé wines, sweet wines and bubbly wines.
Loire wines are mainly grouped into two appellations: Les Vins de Loire and Les Vins du Centre-Loire, but some appellations prefer to remain independent, such as the Côteaux du Vendômois, the wines of Bourgueil, Chinon, Saumur-Champigny or Valençay.
The festival's partners are located in the confluence of the Vienne and Loire rivers, between Chinon, Bourgueil and Saumur.
