Olivier Calmel live in Avignon

Experience Olivier Calmel live on July 7th

Olivier Calmel will perform at the Théâtre Pierre De Lune in Avignon, France on July 7, 2026. Calmel is a French composer and performer known for his work blending contemporary classical music with influences from folk traditions, particularly those of Occitania – the historical region encompassing parts of southern France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. His compositions frequently feature acoustic instruments like the guitar, mandolin and various stringed instruments alongside electronic elements, often exploring themes of memory, landscape and cultural identity.

The Théâtre Pierre De Lune is a historically significant venue located within the Palais des Papes in Avignon. Originally constructed in the 14th century as part of the Papal palace complex, it served various functions over the centuries including a banquet hall and storage space. Restored in the late 20th century, it now functions as a performance space dedicated primarily to theatrical productions and musical concerts. The theatre is noted for its unique acoustics shaped by its medieval architecture and its intimate setting within the larger Palais des Papes structure. It regularly hosts events during Avignon’s renowned Festival d'Avignon, though this concert falls outside that festival period.
