The festival Accademia delle Crete Senesi was founded on the initiative of some musicians of the “Orchestre des Champs Elysées”.  As many of their colleagues these musicians give concerts all across Europe but mostly in big halls for an audience of more than two thousand people.  However, nothing replaces the cosiness of an intimate location full of atmosphere.
The concerts of the Accademia delle Crete take place in small but marvellous churches, chosen because of their adequate acoustics for the repertoire on the program.  The “Crete Senesi” offers splendid locations for the audience and is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and best kept regions in Europe.

This year the Festival takes place from the 1st to the 6th of August and the full program can be found here.

The Orchestra dell’Accademia plays under Catherine Puig and Philippe Herreweghe.
