For nearly 25 years, the group "Aux Couleurs du Moyen Age" has been touring medieval France. In the early days of this "honorable" company, music was just one of the assets of their dynamic and festive performances, which combined fanfares, revisited ancient songs, folk dances, juggling, fables, and chivalrous combat… However, it was the musical aspect of these performances that quickly attracted public attention, and from the very first year, their success was phenomenal. The group was invited to the biggest festivals and events in France, such as the 800th anniversary of Chartres Cathedral, the "Jeanne Hachette" festivities in Bayeux, the Grand Fauconnier festival in Cordes-sur-Ciel, the Remparts festival in Dinan, the Roi de l'Oiseau festival in Le Puy-en-Velay, Provins, a French casino, and many more. From 1996-1997 onwards, various groups of young musicians followed in their footsteps: this marked the beginning of the renaissance of medieval festivals in France. Today, without nostalgia or a backward-looking approach, the group "Aux Couleurs du Moyen Age" is primarily dedicated to music from the 12th to the 16th centuries, while also drawing on traditional repertoires closer to our time (Sephardic romances, Breton hymns, dance tunes from Europe and the Mediterranean basin). The large number of ancient instruments used for each concert program, thus offering a variety of unique soundscapes, the fervor and freedom of expression with which the artists invest themselves in their interpretations of the music, songs, and dances, and finally, the costumes, a true touch of deliberate artistry, make each "Couleurs" concert a captivating musical and poetic journey.
