The Musique-Cordiale International Festival in 2012
The festival ran from 7 - 18 August 2012 and concerts took place in Seillans, Bargemon, Callian, Mons and Bagnols. There were daily evening concerts and several (free) lunchtime performances. As in previous years, there was a late Jazz night on Saturday 11 August in Seillans, featuring sets by artists from Britain, France and Switzerland. As in previous years, the festival has been generously supported by the municipality of Seillans as well as by the towns of Callian and Bagnols-en-Forêt, in addition to participation fees paid by singers and academy students and by sales of tickets at its overwhelmingly capacity audiences of local people, tourists and music-lovers who come to the region specially for the festival. The 2012 festival programme is available on the Musique-Cordiale website.

Famous quotes containing the word festival:
“Don’t you know there are 200 temperance women in this county who control 200 votes. Why does a woman work for temperance? Because she’s tired of liftin’ that besotted mate of hers off the floor every Saturday night and puttin’ him on the sofa so he won’t catch cold. Tonight we’re for temperance. Help yourself to them cloves and chew them, chew them hard. We’re goin’ to that festival tonight smelling like a hot mince pie.”
—Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)
