La Folia Festival in Rougemont
Launched in 2001 by an impassioned team, the Festival La Folia in Rougemont quickly established itself as a highlight in the calendars of lovers of ancient music … and of festivities. The secret of its success rests on a few basic ingredients:
- the Saint Nicolas Church: a little jewel of Romaneque architecture built by monks from Cluny in the 11th century
- an intimate and cheerful atmosphere
- an idyllic setting in the heart of the Pre-Alps in the Canton of Vaud
- original concert programmes featuring international as well as upcoming stars
- a circle of friends of eminent artists who look forward to returning to Rougemont
- on organization based completely on volunteer work … and great enthusiasm!
Headed by an association founded on 29 June 2000, the Festival’s organization is led by three key persons:
Sonia Lang – general secretary
Jean-Michel Chabloz – president / harpsichord maker
Capucine Keller – artistic director / soprano
