Description
Through a rich and diverse programme, Festi Arte transforms Bonifacio into a stage that opens out onto Corsica, the Mediterranean and the wider world. Traditional music, contemporary works and international artistic expressions come together here in a fruitful dialogue between cultures, generations and regions.
Spread across two iconic venues in the Upper Town: the Halle de l’Arsenal and Saint-Dominique Church, the concerts will highlight the links between artistic creation and intangible heritage. With two concerts a day, the festival will celebrate the traditions, memories and cultural expressions that shape the identity of the Mediterranean peoples.
The programme will also feature conferences, meetings, round-table discussions and opportunities to engage with the artists, fostering the sharing of knowledge and opening up new artistic horizons.
When Corsica and the Mediterranean come together, music becomes a shared experience!
