The program of the day:
The afternoon: family workshop and Promenades musicales
The evening: Concert Nouveaux Talents "Carte Blanche à Victor Sicard", followed by a "Méditation à l'aube de la nuit"
Every year, William Christie invites a young musician or a young ensemble to perform during the Festival, giving them carte blanche to put together a program of music to be played at an evening concert in the village chruch in Thiré.
This year, it's turn of baritone Victor Sicard, finalist in Le Jardin des Voix 2013, who has regularly appeared with Les Arts Florissants since then.
