Presentation

Beyond the dissemination activities carried out by Les Surprises, we continue our work in the field with cultural mediation projects throughout the region.

We develop projects in partnership with venues such as La Ferme de Villefavard, Les 3T in Chatellerault, L’Abbaye aux Dames in Saintes, and the municipalities of Bordeaux and Herblay-sur-Seine.

One of our flagship initiatives is the Les Petites Surprises traveling concert season throughout the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. In 2025-2026, five artists will give concerts in preschools, elementary schools, and middle schools. These concerts are preceded by presentations in each class by our cultural mediator.

For several years, we have been running projects with people in exile, combining heritage discovery, artistic practice and an introduction to baroque music.

One of the major focuses in the development of these projects is working in collaboration with cultural and social actors already established in the region, in a spirit of co-creation, in order to reach this audience that is distant from cultural offerings and give them easier access to our musical aesthetics.
