Besançon. Children's Choirs at the Citadel, a Prelude to the Music Festival

Besançon. Children's Choirs at the Citadel, a Prelude to the Music Festival

Choirs kicked off the music festival: more than 2,200 nursery, primary, and middle school students sang at the Citadel throughout the week, a repertoire chosen around the theme of travel, echoing the " Valises! " exhibition at the Museum of Resistance and Deportation. On Saturday, music descends throughout the city.

For 20 years, children have been singing at the choir festival. The Citadel serves as their stage. Parents come to see them, and the audience, numerous during this summer season (it's a popular spot for school trips), stops for a moment and then leaves.

For La citadelle chante , exactly 2,232 students from 35 classes in Greater Besançon, along with their teachers, learned three common songs and a free repertoire on the theme of travel during the year to echo the Valises exhibition, presented until Wednesday, December 31, at the Museum of Resistance and Deportation.
