The majority of our artists return every year, embracing residencies and immersing themselves in the festival as a creative retreat. This camaraderie allows us the freedom to rehearse in a relaxed setting, forming ensembles who bring fresh interpretations to the great repertoire, inspired by the landscape, the people, the atmosphere. . .
