Acoustic encounter between
music and architecture
The ARCHES Series
ARCHES is a series by Les Rugissants aimed at the simultaneous discovery of architectural heritage, music and their acoustic encounter.
Show component
ARCHES offers immersive musical events that combine a guided tour of a building with an exceptional classical music concert. Depending on the location, the public is invited to move around the building, meeting the singers and musicians, or to remain seated as the artists move through the space.
Video component
In parallel with the shows, a music video and a mini-documentary presenting the site are created and made available to extend the experience and increase the accessibility of the series.
