What is Les ClisSonnantes?

Les ClisSonnantes is a classical music festival held in Clisson – in the Vignoble Nantais – with the aim of making classical music accessible to all.

What type of repertoire and artists are on the programme?

The festival explores a wide repertoire, often centred around a theme: for example, the 2025 edition is a “Journey to Italy”, with works ranging from the baroque period (Antonio Vivaldi) to more modern composers or film music (such as Ennio Morricone), as well as lyrical and sacred works. Renowned symphony orchestras, ensembles and soloists perform to offer a rich and varied musical experience.

Where and how do the concerts take place?

Concerts take place in a variety of iconic venues in Clisson – church, concert hall, cultural space – but also sometimes “outside the walls”, i.e. in communes close to the Vignoble Nantais, to reach a wider audience.
