Festi'Classique

Festi'Classique en pays de Cognac is a festival wich presents a programme dedicated to celebrated artists and eventually to young winners of international competitions. Our driving ambition is to discover the most talented classical musicians (violin, piano, guitar, harp….) and complement them with the most prestigious cognac of the region.
