From the beginning, the Festival de Stavelot has been devoted to chamber music. For sixty seasons, the greatest artists have performed there, like Arthur Grumiaux, but the festival also suported young and local musicians. Although its preferred repertoire focuses mostly on music from the 18th and 19th centuries, early and contemporary music have found their way into the concert playlists as well. In Stavelot, the venues are remarkable, as the sounds resonate throughout several architectural treasures, among which the majestic Abbey, its halls, gardens and roman cellars, that invite the audience to make lovely encounters.
