Overview
About
Created in tribute to composer Olivier Messiaen, this contemporary music festival takes place between the Isère and Hautes-Alpes départements, around the Col du Lautaret, in heritage venues such as churches and alpine gardens that echo the landscapes that shaped his work. Directed since 2019 by Bruno Messina, many concerts are free to attend.
