Note that in 2026, the City of Nantes is renewing the provision of a Nantes stage dedicated to artistic practices in acoustics. This year, it will be positioned at Atelier Dulcie September, which has just celebrated its 1st anniversary. On this acoustic stage, a dozen amateur groups are programmed:
- 5 p.m.: Choir Arrival of air show (world music)
Arrival Air Show is a choir of 50 singers. His goal? Share joy, energy, positive emotion with the public! From Stromae to musical comedy, via Ukraine or Polynesia, she explores the cultures of singing with songs known from the four corners of the world, in all languages.
- 17h20 : Chorale Vocaswing (swing – contemporain)
The Vocaswing ensemble is made up of 4 mixed sections (soprane, alto, tenor and bass) under the direction of choir director Christophe Legal. For more than 10 years, the choir has performed an eclectic repertoire of songs from here and elsewhere, revisited swing or jazzy and sung a cappella.
- 5:40 pm: Reggae a vida (reggae)
Reggae A Vida is a Nantes choir created in September 2023 which offers a reggae repertoire of Jamaican and Brazilian inspiration.
- 6 p.m.: Tous-Aides music school (classical choir and violin orchestra)
The Chamber music ensemble of the Tous-Aides music school is made up of 9 musicians (flutes, violins, clarinets and cello) who play a classical repertoire without direction but not only that! On the program: “New York, New York” by J.Kander, “Salut d’amour” by Elgar, “Bagatelle Op.47” by Dvorak, “7 Scottish Airs” by G. Holst, “The Lord of the Rings” by H.Shore.
- 6:45 p.m.: Nantes copper school (copper ensembles)
The Nantes Brass School is open to all generations. It bases its operation on two pillars: group instrument lessons and collective practice within large ensembles: the Enfanfare (for children) and the Orphéon (adults).
- 7:30 p.m.: Incredible new ensemble (film music orchestra)
Created at the end of 2024, the New Incredible Ensemble is a musical ensemble that wishes to make classical music more accessible while defending a demanding and friendly practice. Its repertoire, composed mainly of orchestral pieces in varied styles, adapts to a constantly evolving workforce, depending on the musicians who join the project.
- 8 p.m.: The Big Thing Thing (fanfare)
The Big Thing? The pink fanfare that sparkles and ignites the dancefloor! She will make you dance wherever you are, in the neighborhoods of France or in the rest of the world. Around twenty musicians with changing tones offer groove, pop, funk, songs, crowned with their quirky costumes and their crazy choreographies. A real pleasure machine!
Founded in 1968, Bagad de Nantes is an association dedicated to the promotion of traditional Breton music through instrument training and public performances. Bringing together nearly 80 musicians, both experienced and in training, the ensemble plays in the second category of the national bagadoù competition. His repertoire combines tradition and modernity, driven by the energy of the collective and the pleasure of sharing with the public.
