A musical journey between Baroque and pastoral traditions

Le Souffle du Berger concert with La Chapelle Harmonique in Lourmarin

Le Souffle du Berger explores the lives of shepherds and the richness of pastoral landscapes through a musical program that combines scholarly repertoires and popular traditions. From European Baroque to songs from pastoral territories, the concert brings together several musical worlds.

Transhumance, night vigils, village dances and shepherds' calls form the common thread of this journey. Music thus becomes a way of evoking the gestures, rhythms and landscapes linked to pastoralism.

The concert is part of the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoral Herders and continues with a time of exchange dedicated to the contemporary challenges of pastoralism.

Founded in 2017 by Valentin Tournet, La Chapelle Harmonique brings together singers and instrumentalists specialized in early music. The ensemble interprets a repertoire ranging from the Renaissance to the Baroque, in formations ranging from chamber music to choral and orchestral ensembles.

Violist and artistic director, Valentin Tournet founded the ensemble after training in viola da gamba and conducting. In 2022, he became the first violist nominated for the Revelations of the Victoires de la Musique Classique.
