"It is a new page in the history of our festival which is being written today because of a major event : the installation in Thiré of the Jardin des Voix, the Arts Florissants’ academy for young singers. Since its creation, this academy has become a veritable hothouse for the development of the very best talent. In Thiré, the Jardin des Voix has found its setting and its place. It will indeed be on the reflecting pool ("le Miroir d'eau"), the iconic stage of the festival Dans les Jardins de William Christie, that the eighth edition of the Jardin des Voix will present the fruit of its labour for the very first time, before leaving for an international tour.
This new edition will follow on from the previous ones. The festival focus will be on youth and discovery, and will propose a programme of concerts and events which mix the pleasures of music and of gardens in the idyllic settings of the different festival venues, in a proximity with the artists which few sites can permit. All and everyone, children and adults, novices and confirmed music lovers are invited to this constellation of concerts, walks and encounters.
Welcome to this renewed version of the festival Dans les Jardins de William Christie."
