Sunday, July 12, at 6 p.m.: violin and organ concert
At the Saint-Martin d’Anglars parish church, Natacha and Frédéric will enchant you with their performance of pieces from the Romantic repertoire.
Natacha TRIADOU’s exceptional talent has been recognized by the greatest violin masters. She won first prize in music theory at age 12 and made her first televised performance at the Halle aux Grains in Toulouse at age 14. Her encounter with Lord Yehudi MENUHIN proved pivotal: impressed by her playing, he invited her to study at his school in England, near London. After completing this prestigious training, she studied at the Musikhochschule in Lübeck, Germany, and participated in master classes with Zachar BRON. She then met Alberto LYSY, who invited her to the International Menuhin Music Academy (IMMA) in Gstaad, Switzerland.
Frédéric Deschamps was born in 1985 in La Rochelle, on the Atlantic coast. In this city of light and wind, he discovered at a very early age a love for wide-open spaces, contemplative silence, and profound resonances. The organ, with its rich timbres and earth-shaking power, would become his inner vessel. At just 15 years old, he crossed paths with Francis Chapelet, a leading figure in European Baroque organ music. For more than a decade, the two organists shared the stage in France and abroad.
Frédéric Deschamps’s career took off in 2013 when he was appointed titular organist at the majestic Sainte-Cécile Cathedral in Albi. Since then, he has pursued an international concert career, acclaimed for his stylistic precision, his virtuosity, and his refined sense of improvisation.

Thursday, August 20, at 9 p.m., in the courtyard of the abbey castle: Ode Trio jazz concert
Ode Trio offers spellbinding jazz, a subtle blend of virtuosity, sensitivity, and musical chemistry. Composed of three talented artists—Ohane, Gabriel, and Paul—the group elegantly reimagines the great melodies of French and international songs within a distinctly jazz framework.
The story of Ode Trio began at the Boulogne-Billancourt Conservatory in 2015, where the three musicians met and began crafting their first harmonies. Winners of the prestigious Léopold Bellan International Competition in 2017, they have since established a unique artistic identity, nourished by poetry, improvisation, and finesse. Their repertoire, entirely arranged in a jazz style, breathes new life into songs by Piaf, Brassens, Aznavour, Brel, Stromae, and even Alicia Keys… offering an unexpected and captivating rediscovery.
Ohane Dourian: piano
Paul Herry-Pasmanian: double bass
Gabriel Ferrari: drums
