2025 SEVENTH EDITION

A passion that becomes a festival

Né de l’amour inconditionnel d’un artiste pour la musique classique, le Festival La Clé de Voûte vous invite à découvrir un univers musical d’exception.

Imaginez des lieux d’histoire aux acoustiques parfaites, un cadre bucolique rappelant la Toscane, et des artistes de renommée internationale. Niché au cœur des vallons enchanteurs du Pays de Cocagne, notre festival offre une expérience intimiste unique, où musique et patrimoine se rencontrent pour créer des moments inoubliables.

L’homme derrière la musique

Blagoja Dimcevski, violon solo de l’Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse pendant 33 ans (1982-2015), a posé ses valises à Roquevidal en 2010. Directeur artistique du festival, il conjugue depuis toujours excellence musicale et transmission passionnée.

Sa double expertise de musicien accompli et de pédagogue reconnu lui permet de réunir des artistes d’exception, créant une programmation d’une qualité remarquable.

A beautiful story that continues

2018 marque la naissance du festival : 370 spectateurs conquis sous les magnifiques voûtes bleues de l’église Saint-Blaise de Roquevidal.

Le succès est immédiat. Portés par l’enthousiasme du public et le soutien précieux des collectivités locales, nous grandissons d’année en année.

2025 : Notre sixième édition s’épanouit du July 2 to 11 in five exceptional heritage sites, each chosen for its unique character and remarkable acoustic qualities.

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.
