Jean-Guihen Queyras live in Les Baux-de-Provence

Experience Jean-Guihen Queyras live on July 25th

Jean-Guihen Queyras, a French cellist renowned for his insightful interpretations and technical mastery, will perform at the Carrières des Lumières in Les Baux-de-Provence on July 25th, 2026. Queyras’s playing is characterized by a refined tone, a lyrical approach, and a broad repertoire spanning from Bach to contemporary composers. He frequently collaborates with leading orchestras and chamber ensembles globally and is known for exploring both well-established works and lesser-known pieces.

The Carrières des Lumières is a unique venue created within an ancient limestone quarry in Les Baux-de-Provence. Originally an operational quarry for centuries, providing stone for local construction including the Château des Baux, it fell into disuse in the early 20th century. In 1977, sculptor Jean-Louis Prat transformed the site into an artistic space. Since 2012, it has become internationally recognized for its immersive digital art exhibitions and occasional musical performances projected onto the quarry walls. The space’s vast scale and acoustics provide a distinctive setting for artistic presentations. The venue's natural architecture significantly impacts the experience of any performance held within it.
