Experience The Curious Bards live on August 18th

The Curious Bards will be performing at the Centre Régional de la Culture de Dieppe (CRR De Dieppe) in Dieppe, France on August 18, 2026. The Curious Bards are a musical ensemble specializing in neo-medieval folk music, blending traditional instrumentation – often featuring instruments like hurdy-gurdy, nyckelharpa, and various stringed instruments – with contemporary songwriting and arrangements. Their compositions frequently draw inspiration from historical ballads, folklore, and mythology, creating a sound that is both evocative of the past and distinctly modern.

The CRR De Dieppe, opened in 1985, functions as a regional cultural center for Normandy. It’s a significant venue hosting a diverse program of performing arts including music, theatre, dance and cinema. The building itself is architecturally notable for its design incorporating both modern and industrial elements reflecting Dieppe’s maritime history. It serves as a key location for artistic creation and dissemination within the region offering both performance spaces and workshops. The CRR De Dieppe is managed by the Normandy Region and aims to promote cultural accessibility for all audiences.
