The Corneille Competition in the footsteps of the Normans

The 8th International Baroque Singing Competition - Competitions, concerts, and meetings with Norway, Italy, Flanders, and the United Kingdom...

a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; }tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; }tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }The Corneille Competition has established itself over the years as a lyrical meeting point that is both Norman and international, becoming an essential stage in the journey of young professional singers.

In 2027, the European Year of the Normans, this dynamic provides a natural opportunity to broaden the competition, both in duration and in its geographic reach and the diversity of proposed experiences. In collaboration with leading cultural players in Normandy, the UK, southern Italy, Flanders, and Norway, the initiative is being deployed on an unprecedented scale.

This initiative primarily benefits young lyrical artists at the beginning of their careers. It also presents a fantastic opportunity for young audiences to discover the emotion of live music and artistic excellence, in the company of performers whose generational proximity serves as true sources of inspiration.

Concerts and meetings of the Poème Harmonique in Norway, the UK, and Italy, a specific program in Normandy, an exceptional jury gathering professionals from partner countries: these are all elements that will make this 8th edition a unique event, rooted in the legacy of history and cultural exchanges inherited from the Normans.
