Music events Charente-Maritime

Without a doubt, this is the largest concert hall in Charente-Maritime and the must-see event of the summer. To get a seat, nothing could be easier! Bring a towel and settle down on the beach of the Grande Conche. Not only will you enjoy an exceptional natural setting, but you will also listen to classical music for three nights. Four to six performers and dancers follow one another on this ephemeral stage, presenting some of the greatest classical music, jazz sounds and world music.

This jazz festival enchants music lovers and transforms the Lighthouse into a surprising musical scene. Once again, the festival welcomed many musicians with more than 30 concerts during 5 days. We find accomplished artists such as Ibrahim Maaalouf or Véronique Sanson accompanied by a large orchestra. But the bias of this festival is also to put forward young talents with the competition "Jazz ConneXion" which aims to bring to the forefront of the stage jazz talents from New Aquitaine.

For more than 20 years now, jazz has been making the capital of the island vibrate! In the heart of August, in the summer torpor, the notes of jazz resound during three nights in the port of Saint-Martin-de-Ré. Free concerts allow the greatest number of people to fully enjoy this music, all in a friendly atmosphere. All styles are present, offering a beautiful diversity!
