2024 SIXIÈME ÉDITION
The festival was born from the passion of an artist for his profession and his desire to continue to transmit his love for classical music.
It is an astonishing mix between forgotten architectural places with perfect acoustics, a rural setting with the air of Tuscany, and remarkable artists
recognized internationally. Located in the heart of the valleys of the Pays de Cocagne, the festival is an intimate and privileged moment of musical sharing and rediscovery of the region's heritage.
At its origin…
Blagoja Dimcevski, concertmaster of the Orchester National du Capitole de Toulouse from 1982 to 2015, based in Roquevidal (Tarn) since 2010, is the artistic director of the festival. His career has been divided between concerts and teaching at the highest level. His status as a recognized musician and professor allows him to bring together a group of exceptional musicians.
In 2018, he launched the first edition of the Festival La Clé de Voûte which attracted around 370 people under the blue vaults of the Saint-Blaise church in Roquevidal.
Roquevidal. Fort de ce succès et du soutien des collectivités locales, le festival se développe : la sixième édition aura lieu du 2 au 12 juillet 2024 dans cinq édifices différents (voir ci-après).
PROGRAM
To promote and appreciate chamber music
VIRTUOSO MUSICIANS
The festival brings together internationally renowned musicians gathered around the talented musicians
of the Dimcevski family as well as certain members of the Capitole orchestras of Toulouse,
Budapest, Valencia, Montpellier or Brussels.
PROMOTING THE
CLASSICAL REPERTOIRE
The festival is essentially dedicated to chamber music.
The so-called “classical” repertoire goes in the broadest sense of the term, from baroque to Viennese classical,
passing through romanticism and the music of Eastern Europe. It is aimed at everyone: music lovers,
neophytes or simply curious.

PROMOTING A
LISTED HERITAGE
CHURCHES OF
THE TARN-AGOUT COMMUNITY
OF MUNICIPALITIES
Often characterized by bell towers with brick or stone walls, many Tarn churches deserve our full attention and a musical detour.
Several of them are also classified as Historic Monuments. The DRUZBA association, based in Roquevidal, organizer of the Festival La Clé de Voûte, wishes to contribute, through concerts, to the effort to promote this precious but nevertheless fragile heritage
Le sixième festival La Clé de Voûte débutera par un concert dans l’église Saint-Blaise de Roquevidal, propice aux échappées musicales et spirituelles.
The following concerts will take place in the churches: Church of Saint Blaise de Roquevidal, Saint Sauveur d'Ambres, Saint François de Lavaur, Saint Martin de Massac-Seran and on the Place des Sources in Labastide St Georges.
It will be, each time, the opportunity to hear the exceptional acoustics of these superb buildings.
ENJOY AN IDEAL FRAMEWORK
An intimate setting in the heart of the Lauraguais hills
EARLY SUMMER FESTIVAL
Summer concerts often arouse everyone's enthusiasm: the mild evenings, the desire to go out, enjoy a friendly moment and discover or rediscover a piece of music.
However, to celebrate the first days of vacation, there are no major events on the cultural agenda of the municipalities of Tarn-Agout. The festival therefore comes to enchant this beginning of summer.
IN THE HEART OF THE HILLS OF THE PAYS DE COCAGNE
To get to these places, you have to travel through this hilly landscape, these pleasant hills with peaks dotted with plane trees. This soft and peaceful countryside already prepares you for music. Upon arrival, the spectator will enjoy the architecture of the beautiful churches and the incomparable landscapes that run towards the Montagne Noire and the Pyrenees.
INTIMATE SETTING
Most often with reduced gauges, these churches give an intimate setting to the concerts of the festival and thus offer optimal listening conditions but also a time to meet and exchange with the artists.
EXPANDING THE CULTURAL AGENDA OF TARN-AGOUT MUNICIPALITIES
In the future, for the sake of mediation, other places may be considered such as establishments with a social or medico-social vocation or even unusual places for concerts in order to establish direct contact with the widest possible public.
