On a balmy June night, people from the region jammed into the modest old church at Roquecor to hear a stiring and beautiful Concert Chorale sung by the  Choral de Bourg de Visa and the Choral Internationale de Quercy. Some of the melodies were emmotional with complex harmonies including pop, religious and martial pieces.  The house was packed and the music made use of the acoustics in the ancient church.  The stirring  music was enjoyed by many following a special meal at the Cafe de Centre. A grand time was had by all. Proceeds went to local charity Les Aime des Chats.

It is almost time for the Jazz festival at Marciac.  If you are a jazz aficianado, this is a must see event.  This year with Sonny Rollins.

Stay at La Taupe http://vacationrentalfrance.net/for all that Jazz!

In addition to the Jazz Festival in Montauban, Tournon d’Agenais  (5 miles from La Taupe) has become a frequent venue for blues musicians.  Recently several American artists have performed in Tournon.  Some very good French blues men have performed there as well.  Pictured is Nico Tousaint sitting in with a performing group in Tournon.  There are several festivals throughout the year including everything from Grand Opera to Country and Western music.
