Festival d’Autan 2027 - 11th Ed.

Organising a festival today means forging connections: between works and audiences, artists and regions, the history of places and living art. Since its inception, the Festival d’Autan has been guided by this conviction: music has the rare power to bring people together and move them.

Travelling, ambitious, and inclusive, the Festival d’Autan continues its journey through Occitanie. From a chapel to a museum, from a church to a garden, from an intimate concert to an operatic or festive performance, this 11th edition reaffirms the festival’s identity: to showcase the great works of the repertoire, champion contemporary creation, and offer powerful and vibrant musical experiences.

For this 11th edition, we have put together a program that brings together diverse perspectives across styles, eras, forms, heritage, and contemporary creation. Featuring Justina Repečkaitė, Vanessa Wagner, François-Xavier Poizat, the return of Wilhem Latchoumia, José Daniel Castellon, the Euroccitanie Chamber Orchestra, and the pocket operas of La chambre à Airs, this edition promises to be rich and full of contrasts.

The festival will travel to several venues across Occitanie. At each stop, the goal will be to foster an encounter between a venue, its residents, its artisans, artists, and the audience. It is this vibrant connection that defines the festival’s value.

This year’s festival also embodies key commitments: environmental responsibility and vigilance against sexist and sexual violence and harassment.

Thank you to the artists, the teams, the volunteers, the public and private partners, the municipalities, and the venues that make this adventure possible. Thank you to the audience - loyal and growing in number - who bring the festival to life.

Wishing everyone a wonderful festival.
