Concert by the Provence Verdon Instrumental Ensemble: "La Nuit étoilée"

Under the summer sky, La Nuit étoilée invites the audience on a poetic and musical journey to the heart of Silvacane Abbey. Following a text by Alphonse Daudet, enhanced by the colors of Fauré and Debussy, the timeless grace of Mozart’s “A Little Night Music” and the exceptional intensity of Schoenberg’s “Transfigured Night” will celebrate the many faces of the night. A wine tasting will round out this artistic journey, bringing together heritage, music, and the Provençal way of life.
