Pierre Fouchenneret live in Voutezac

Experience Pierre Fouchenneret live on July 7th

Pierre Fouchenneret will perform at Château du Saillant in Voutezac, France on July 7, 2026. Fouchenneret is a French composer and instrumentalist known for his work blending contemporary classical music with influences from traditional folk melodies, particularly those of the Limousin region where he resides. His compositions often feature acoustic instruments – notably the guitar, cello and piano – creating atmospheric and emotionally resonant soundscapes. He frequently incorporates field recordings and explores themes relating to nature and memory within his musical pieces.

Château du Saillant is a medieval fortress originally constructed in the 13th century, overlooking the Vézère valley in the Dordogne department. The castle underwent significant renovations during the Renaissance period, adding residential elements to its defensive structure. Throughout its history, it has been held by various noble families, including the Albret lineage connected to Queen Jeanne d'Albret. In the 20th century, it fell into disrepair but was acquired in 1988 by current owners who undertook extensive restoration work. Today, it functions as a privately owned historical monument open to visitors and hosts cultural events including concerts leveraging its unique acoustics and setting.
