The mayor of Lourdes, Thierry Lavit, had kept secret the identity of the singer who will be in concert in Lourdes on July 9 at 9 p.m. as part of the Estivales de Lourdes. It is therefore the singer Vianney who won the trophy of performer of the year at the Victoires de la Musique 2016, just a year after being named in the Revelations of the same ceremony.
With his title “step-dad” the artist is on all sets, will be part of the programming of the Vieilles Charrues and also officiates as a juror in the show “The Voice”.
Other high-quality events are also planned, notably from July 2 to 7, the Festival l’offrande Musicale, a classical music festival carried by the famous pianist David Fray.
A humanist and solidarity project in which 20% of places will be offered to people with disabilities. On July 7, the closing concert will be with the trio of musicians, David Fray on piano, Renaud Capuçon on violin and Victor-Julien Laferrière on cello.
On the Sanctauire side, Les Nuits de lourdes should also enchant the public with, every evening, the Marian torchlight procession at 9 p.m., the night mass at the grotto and the recital of the musical “Bernadette de Lourdes” at 5 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays in July and August.
The same day as the Vianney concert, the Patrouille de France will also come to put color in the sky of the Marian city.
Summer events with a varied program to reach all audiences, from the youngest to the oldest.
Mark your calendars!
