DESCRIPTION:Château en Musique – 4th edition \n\nLes 4 Saisons sensorielles – The Vivaldi Experience\nMonday\, July 20\, 2026 at 9:00 PM \nAs part of the 4th edition of the Château en Musique festival\, organized by M.G. Art\, discover a musical creation presented as a world premiere in the courtyard of the Château de La Napoule. \nLes 4 Saisons sensorielles – The Vivaldi Experience offers an immersive rediscovery of Antonio Vivaldi’s celebrated Four Seasons\, placed in their historical\, dramaturgical and sensory context. \n\nAn immersion into Vivaldi’s world\nVenice\, early 18th century. Antonio Vivaldi arrives at the Ospedale della Pietà\, an institution renowned throughout Europe for the excellence of its musical education for girls. There\, he trained an ensemble of young orphaned virtuoso musicians\, the famous figlie di coro. \nDuring concerts\, these musicians often performed behind grilles or screens\, giving rise to the poetic image of a “concert of invisible angels”. \nIt was within this unique world\, where music\, space and emotion intertwine\, that The Four Seasons were born in 1725. To accompany each concerto\, Vivaldi wrote a sonnet evoking the scenes heard in his music: birdsong\, storms\, wind\, fire and the murmurs of nature. \nReadings of the sonnets\, spatialized sound\, lighting and subtle soundscapes accompany the listening experience\, inviting the audience into the very heart of the music. \nMore than a concert\, this creation invites audiences to experience Vivaldi from within\, in a living\, poetic and deeply human musical experience. \n\nPerformers\n\nPhilippa Mo — international solo violinist\nLisa Kordic — solo flute for Winter\nMislava Mikelic — violin 1\nPille Prans — violin 2\nVanessa Kordic — viola\nChloé Hervault Triscornia — cello\n\n\nPractical information\n\nDate: Monday\, July 20\, 2026 at 9:00 PM\nVenue: courtyard of the Château de La Napoule\nDoors open: 8:15 PM\nDuration: approximately 1 hour 15 minutes\, without intermission\nSeating: unreserved seating\, no categories\nAdmission: full price €20 / under 18 €5 / under 10 free\n\nA raised stage and six speakers will provide good visibility and a high-quality listening experience for the audience. \nVisitors will be able to explore the Château gardens before the concert. \nParking: several free car parks are available in the evening\, including the large Siagne car park\, located about a 10-minute walk from the Château. \n\nBooking\nAdvance booking is recommended and must be completed online. \n Book your tickets  \nTickets may be available on the evening of the concert\, subject to availability.

DESCRIPTION:La Napoule Art Foundation invites you to discover Murmures du Château\, an immersive sound work by Shawn Pinchbeck\, an electroacoustic music composer\, sound designer and former artist-in-residence at the Château de La Napoule. \nCreated from more than twelve hours of recordings made in and around the Château\, this 57-minute work reveals the sounds that shape the identity of the site: footsteps and voices echoing through its rooms\, doors opening and closing\, birdsong\, rustling leaves\, passing trains\, the nearby beaches and the constant presence of the Mediterranean Sea. \nRecorded using an ambisonic microphone that captures sound in 360 degrees\, the piece recreates the full depth and spatial dimension of these sound environments when experienced through headphones. Shawn Pinchbeck transforms familiar sounds\, which usually pass unnoticed\, into a sensory journey through the Château and its surrounding landscape. \nFollowing this launch event\, Murmures du Château will remain available for visitors to experience freely through headphones inside the Château during its regular opening hours. \n\nProgramme\n4:30 pm: Welcome address\nIntroduction to the event and the sound work \nPresentation of Shawn Pinchbeck\nAn introduction to the artist’s practice and the creation of Murmures du Château \nListening session featuring an excerpt from the work\nAn immersion in the soundscape of the Château \nDrinks reception\nAn informal gathering on the terraces of the Château \n\nPractical information\n\nVenue: Château de La Napoule – Avenue Henry Clews – Mandelieu-La Napoule\nDate: Sunday\, July 19\, 2026\nTime: from 4:30 pm\nAdmission: regular Château admission: €6 / €4 reduced rate\nThe presentation\, listening session and drinks reception are included in the Château admission ticket.\n\n➜ Reserve your place \n\n \nShawn Pinchbeck\n \n\nLearn more about the artist – Shawn Pinchbeck\n\nBased in Edmonton\, Canada\, Shawn Pinchbeck is an electroacoustic music composer\, sound designer and media artist. Active since the mid-1980s\, his multidisciplinary practice encompasses composition\, field recording\, interactive installations\, performance\, video and digital creation. \nHis work explores how sound can reveal the identity of a place\, evoke memories and transform our perception of our surroundings. His compositions combine recorded sounds\, transformed sonic materials and electronic or synthesized elements. \nShawn Pinchbeck’s work has been presented at festivals and artistic events in more than fifteen countries. He has also composed for film\, dance and a variety of audiovisual projects. His work notably appears in the award-winning documentary The Corporation. \nHe holds a Master of Music and a PhD in Music Composition from the University of Birmingham and regularly teaches and lectures at art schools and universities in Canada and Europe. \nDeveloped over the course of three residencies at the Château de La Napoule between November 2024 and February 2026\, Murmures du Château grew out of his close attention to the sea\, the spaces of the Château and the “hidden music” found within everyday sounds.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Mise en abyme - Erin LeAnn Mitchell & Kaitlyn Tucek
DESCRIPTION:From July 12 to September 20\, 2026\, Château de La Napoule presents Mise en Abyme\, an exhibition bringing together artists Erin LeAnn Mitchell and Kaitlyn Tucek\, two former artists-in-residence of La Napoule Art Foundation. \nThrough painting\, textile\, drawing\, installation\, and assemblage\, the works of both artists create a space of resonances where images\, motifs\, and narratives respond to one another. Between memory\, perception\, and imagination\, Mise en Abyme invites visitors to navigate recurring forms\, visual fragments\, and unexpected correspondences. \n\nExhibition Opening Reception\nThe opening reception for Mise en Abyme will take place on Friday\, July 10\, 2026 at 6:30 PM at Château de La Napoule. \n\nDate: Friday\, July 10\, 2026\nTime: 6:30 PM\nLocation: Château de La Napoule\nFree admission upon registration\n\n➜ Register for the opening reception \n\nAbout the Exhibition\nMise en Abyme brings together the work of Kaitlyn Tucek and Erin LeAnn Mitchell\, two artists whose distinct visual practices engage in dialogue through a shared interest in memory\, recurring motifs\, and processes of transformation. \nThroughout their work\, images seem to circulate\, repeat\, and transform. A motif reappears in another form\, a figure emerges and dissolves\, a memory is reconstructed through fragments. Painting\, textile\, ceramics\, installation\, and performance coexist here without hierarchy\, creating a sensitive dialogue between materials\, forms\, and narratives. \nConceived for the Galerie Blanche at Château de La Napoule\, the exhibition unfolds as a space of perception and connection. Rather than presenting a single narrative\, the works invite an open-ended experience where the boundaries between memory and imagination\, reality and fiction\, interior and exterior become increasingly porous. \n➜ View the press kit \n \n \n\nVisitor Information\n\nLocation: Château de La Napoule – Avenue Henry Clews – Mandelieu-La Napoule\nDates: July 12 – September 20\, 2026\nOpening hours: Tuesday through Sunday\, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (opening hours may be subject to change due to private events. Please visit this page for information regarding exceptional closures.)\nAdmission: Château admission fee applies. Tickets available on site.\n\n➜ Visitor information and admission fees \n\nAbout the Artists\nErin LeAnn Mitchell | Photo credit: HADAS\n\nErin LeAnn Mitchell\n\nErin LeAnn Mitchell is a multidisciplinary artist from Birmingham\, Alabama\, who draws on African American craft traditions\, family narratives\, and material cultures to create works in which personal memory and collective heritage intertwine.

SUMMARY:Listening to the Living World - Fête de la Musique & Summer Solstice with ALIVE!
DESCRIPTION:photo: Camille Moirenc \nOn the occasion of the Fête de la Musique and the first day of summer\, La Napoule Art Foundation welcomes the association ALIVE! for a new artistic encounter at the Château de La Napoule. \nSince 2020\, ALIVE! has been creating thematic events at the Château around one central question: how can art help us reconnect with nature? \nFor this edition\, music becomes the guiding thread of a sensitive journey through the Château’s gardens and spaces. Lyric voice\, contemporary sound creation\, poetry and listening to the living world come together in a guided and participatory walk. \nWith soprano Larenka Hoareau\, composer and conductor Romina Romay\, and poet Emmanuel Fillot\, visitors are invited to experience a suspended moment\, between performance\, contemplation and participation. \n\nA musical and poetic walk\nThe journey will be punctuated by three vocal interventions by Larenka Hoareau\, whose voice will accompany visitors through different spaces of the Château and its gardens. \nEmmanuel Fillot will present a poetic intervention based on his “avectives”\, short poems inspired by the living world and birds\, conceived as a light and sensitive form of presence within the landscape. \nRomina Romay will present an excerpt from her project Romee – Her Voices\, which revisits the legacy of women composers in classical music through electronic rhythms\, contemporary sounds and inspirations drawn from nature. \nThroughout the walk\, participants will also be invited to write down a few words\, sensations or images born from their listening experience\, composing a personal trace of this collective moment. \n\nPractical information\n\nVenue: Château de La Napoule – Avenue Henry Clews – Mandelieu-La Napoule\nDate: Sunday\, June 21\, 2026\nTime: 2:30 pm – 5:30 pm\nAdmission: €6 / €4 reduced rate\nBooking: registration required\, limited number of places\n\nTickets will be available online via Eventbrite. Tickets may also be purchased on site on the day of the event\, subject to availability. \n➜ Book your ticket \n\n \n\nLearn more about the artists\n\nRomina Romay\n\n \nPhoto: © Romina Romay \n\nRomina Romay is a conductor\, composer and pianist\, originally from Buenos Aires and based in Paris. \nFor the Fête de la Musique at the Château de La Napoule\, she will present an excerpt from her project Romee – Her Voices\, which revisits the legacy of women composers in classical music through electronic rhythms\, contemporary sounds and inspirations drawn from nature. \n\nEmmanuel Fillot\n\n \nPhoto: © Emmanuel Fillot \n\nEmmanuel Fillot was born in 1957 in Tours\, France. His work is represented by Galerie Lelia Mordoch in Paris and Miami. \nHe studied art in Grenoble and Paris\, but his true education came through his encounters with poets and his interest in many non-Western cultures. He met Kenneth White\, with whom he collaborated within the framework of geopoetics. \nSince the late 1980s\, geopoetics has sought to reshape our relationship with the biosphere — a reflection that strongly resonates today with contemporary environmental issues. \nIn 2008\, Emmanuel Fillot met the poet F. J. Temple\, who would remain a travelling companion\, notably through a collaboration on an installation at the Bambouseraie d’Anduze and the publication of the artist’s book Migrations. \nHis work has always been rooted in the question of our relationship with the living world and nature\, and could be summed up by the phrase: “To take part in the passage of poetry.” \n\nLarenka Hoareau\n\n \nPhoto: © Larenka Hoareau \n\nA graduate of both the Institut d’Études Politiques in Aix-en-Provence\, where she obtained a master’s degree\, and the Musikhochschule in Cologne\, Germany\, where she trained in lyric singing\, soprano Larenka Hoareau has a singular profile. \nHer training allowed her to work with teachers such as Jean-Christophe Benoît and Rachel Yakar. She has performed a wide range of roles\, including the Young Woman in La Voix humaine\, Serpina in La Servante maîtresse\, Woglinde in Rheingold\, Adele in Die Fledermaus\, the Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute\, and Musetta in La Bohème. \nShe has been conducted by Yakov Kreizberg\, Roland Boer\, Markus Bosch\, Theodor Guschlbauer\, Andreas Stoer and Peter Marx. In concert\, she has performed with Matthias Lademann and Lida Zournatsi. Today\, she is most often accompanied by Pierre Laïk\, Nathalie Lanoë or Anne Guidi.
