Space surrounded by trees, where a stage is installed in front of the Baleines lighthouse, at the western tip of the Ile de Ré (Charente-Maritime), the site of the Jazz au Phare festival has allure. Its artistic director, the journalist and saxophonist Jean-Michel Proust, programs many names in jazz there, while regularly hosting songs (Jane Birkin, Véronique Sanson, Christophe… have been there), soul, blues.
The 14th edition, which began on July 30, thus receives on August 1 Bernard Lavilliers, currently on tour with a program devoted to his famous album O’Gringo (1980), and on August 2 vocalist and guitarist Murray Head.

Jazz once more with a tribute to Django Reinhardt by guitarist Biréli Lagrène, here accompanied by the Orchester symphonique de Musique en Ré (July 31, first part Off Swing Quintet), and a trip to Afro-Cuban with pianist Roberto Fonseca ( August 3, with the quartet of pianist Adrien Brandeis in the first part). “Off” festival, in places near the lighthouse and various towns on the island.

Deauville in music, between beach and countryside
Started on July 30 and scheduled until August 12, the Deauville festival is playing it in the summer version. In addition to offering its usual major concerts at the Elie-de-Brignac-Arqana hall with the fine flower of French chamber music, it offers round tables and mini-concerts. Witness the composer Thierry Escaich, who opens the festivities with a meeting devoted to the cinema of Fritz Lang before proposing a creation on August 1 for the trio Messiaen & the Trio Xenakis. As for the mini-concerts, they take place at the Franciscaines in Deauville in connection with the exhibition devoted to the bestiary of André Hamburg, the young musicians exploring all that animals have inspired in vocal and instrumental works, ballets and operas, to the great composers from the Baroque era to the 20th century.
