Prangins Baroque

history

Since its creation in 2020, the Prangins Baroque Festival has established itself as a not-to-be-missed event for lovers of baroque music. Each year, the festival offers a rich programme featuring well-known works, as well as some rare ones, performed by young talents alongside internationally renowned artists. For five consecutive years, Prangins has become a privileged meeting place for artists, audiences and the living history of early music. From its first promising editions to its most recent performances, the Festival has gone from strength to strength, offering a unique musical experience in an exceptional setting in the heart of the Côte vaudoise. This retrospective invites you to relive the highlights of these five editions, celebrating the excellence and creativity that bring Prangins to life every autumn.

APOLLO AND DAPHNÉ

For this fourth edition, our week of baroque events will be inspired by the new permanent exhibition Ovid in the Juraof the Swiss National Museum and the myth of Apollo and Daphne, taken from the great poem the Metamorphoses of Ovid. The themes it evokes are still relevant today - domination and violence, mockery and harassment, consent in love - and have prompted us to devote this edition of Prangins Baroque to it.
