12/08/22 concert in Boussagues
On Friday, August 12, 2022, Rue des Chantres gives the program Sorores in the church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Pitié in Bossagues (34) as part of the Festival Voix d'Orgues – Bédarieux – Grand Orb.
Located in the same group of communes of the Grand Orb in the Hérault as the church of Lamalou-les-Bains, the church of Bossagues also dates from the 12th century. Only the apse and the choir remain, his nave being collapsed. When it was rebuilt, it found itself disconnected by 10° from the chorus axis to avoid a stream. An enlargement of this nave in 1520 will also decentralize the porch and stained glass windows. During the renovations of 1840, the tumular stones of two 13th century priests were brought back from the cemetery and embedded in the walls of the church.
11/08/22 concert in Lamalou-les-Bains
On Thursday, August 11, 2022, Rue des Chantres gives the program Sorores in the church of Saint-Pierre-de-Rhèdes in Lamalou-les-Bains (34) as part of the Musical Moments / Festival Voix d'Orgues – Bédarieux – Grand Orb.
Great success. The public was so numerous that not everyone could enter this Romanesque church (XI-XII centuries) located on the fourth century Christian shrine of a Gallo-Roman site. Maybe the name Rhèdes is wisigothic. This priory, who once belonged to the great abbey of Villemagne, suffered from religious wars. The broken cradle vault was rebuilt in 1659. The nave is separated into 5 spans by twin columns. The walls are about 1.50m thick. Note, a bentier and a bas-relief with the effigy of St Peter of the twelfth century.
09/07/22 concert in Estrée-Blanche
On Saturday, July 9, 2022, Rue des Chantres gives the program Songs for a wounded lady in the church of Saint-Vaast, in Estrée-Blanche (62) in the framework of the Festival of Medieval Music of the Community of Greater Bethune-Bruay, Artois Lys Romane.
Church rebuilt in 1866 but retained its 16th century bell tower with a hooked arrow like a number of churches in Artois. Estrée-Blanche is a commune in the commune between Béthune and Saint-Omer (Pas-de-Calais). « Eastern » comes from the old French and designates a road covered with flat stones (same root as street, Straβe, Straat...) probably due to the passage of a Roman road, the Brunehaut roadway. The castle of Creminil (« limestone mansion »), built from 1443, recalls the former Seigneuries of the village and is classified as a historical monument since 2005.
26/06/22 concert in Saint-Sulpice-de-Favières
On 26 June 2022, Rue des Chantres gives the program Sorores at the Church of Saint Sulpice of Saint Sulpice de Favières (91) as part of the musical season of the Association for the Radiation of the Church (ARESULP).
The site is suitable for acoustic exploration, offers a magnificent unexpected setting in a small village, and its construction period corresponds to the repertoire of Rue des Chantres. It is one of the main Gothic buildings radiating from the region, built quite quickly in the 13th century and preserving the Miracle Chapel of the previous church. Following a sudden interruption of the construction site around 1280-1290, the nave remained unfinished. Then the western facade was added to close the building in the 14th century. The « most beautiful village church of the kingdom » Then the relics of Saint-Sulpice-de-Bourges were housed, giving its name to this village in the valley of the Orge in Essonne.
