2007 Festival

“First and foremost, Musichoridanse is all about making connections. As is the custom, the 250 participants will be accommodated by local families.”

LE PAYS

“The overflowing public was again a credit to the event, greeting with enthusiasm the ‘ambassadors’ of the eight represented countries.”

LE PROGRÈS

“The second part was grandiose, such that has before been never seen in the village. The Romanian ballet took the stage by storm, with a flood of dances unique to Eastern Europe. The dancers in their luminous costumes – changed between each show – superbly brought their folklore to life.”

LE PROGRÈS

2002 Festival

“Musichoridanse is in a way a European laboratory.”

LE PAYS

“And that everyone should sing… and that everyone should dance… and that everyone should dream…”  Michel Berger’s song sung by France Gall is in a way Musichoridanse festival’s theme song. All week long, local inhabitants of Tarare and vicinity breathed to the beat of different countries’ traditional dances (Russia, Italy, Germany, England, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Scotland, Romania, Slovenia and Slovakia.)”

LE PROGRÈS

“Europe becomes united in different ways. Art is one powerful way to break language barriers. Musichoridanse is unique in that, first, it organizes multiple cultural exchanges and, second, the festival is celebrated in various nearby villages.”

LE PROGRÈS

“Musichoridanse is a festival like many which take place in France, but a very important difference makes this second festival truly original: accommodation by French families.”
