| "A unique classical house party". Be prepared for an experience of extraordinary intimacy, chamber music as it used to be, that makes famous venues such as the small halls of the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and Berlin Philharmonie, and even London's Wigmore Hall, seem large and impersonal in comparison. The Orpheus & Bacchus Festival is a dream come true, a perfect venue
for chamber music, according to visiting artists and guests, and a unique opportunity to meet and dine with our star musicians. With exceptional musicians and a beautiful 18th century beamed salon with wonderful acoustics, deep in the vineyards of the most famous wine-growing area in the world, peace and tranquillity provide the environment for memorable performances to be born. With the excitement and spontaneity of the music we give you comfort. You will be staying in attractive en-suite accommodation around the Le Faure courtyard, and our dining salon is run by our own gourmet chef. In the concert salon you sit on our sofas, not chairs. In the daytime you can relax as you wish, with swimming pools, tennis, croquet and boules on site and golf nearby. Or you can join our varied programme of daily visits to famous châteaux such as Haut Brion and Lafite, beautiful places such as Bordeaux or St.Emilion, water trips at Arcachon or Bergerac, and many more. What participants have said. "For immediacy and intimacy this has to be the best musical holiday-making available anywhere." Robin Young of The Times, April 2003 "A music-lover's dream come true: an open-all-hours Wigmore Hall with extra-intimacy, beds and better food." Michael White of the Daily Telegraph, March 2004 "Orpheus & Bacchus April 2003 feels like the start of something that many musicians would imagine to exist only in dreams. The piano - what can I say? It's so good that it inspires. Thank you, I just cannot wait to come back." Freddy Kempf, April 2003 (resident artist 1999 - 2005) "If there is a finer venue than Domaine du Faure for the enjoyment of chamber music, I do not know it." David Barker, April 2003 (client 1999 – 2007) "We have been to many music festivals and events, but never one as magical as this."Ruth & Walter Solomon (clients May/October 2004) |
