Art that grows like the trees

Music & Art

Bardou has long been a place where music echoes through stone walls and art quietly appears in corners. Concerts in the Rittersaal, rehearsals under walnut trees, spontaneous poetry, sculpture, painting — creativity here follows no program, but finds its time. Some moments are planned, others just happen. Everyone is invited to listen, to watch, or to take part. Here you’ll find upcoming concerts, exhibitions, and glimpses of what has already passed — like sound that lingers after the last note.

Concerts

Music has been part of Bardou’s life since the early days, when Jean and Klaus welcomed musicians during the village’s restoration. Over time, it became a quiet tradition – concerts in chapels, churches, or in Bardou itself, with rehearsals woven into everyday life. Today, Elizabeth and Brian continue this spirit, hosting soloists, choirs, and orchestras from around the world. As they prepare for larger venues, their music drifts through Bardou’s narrow paths, becoming part of the village’s rhythm. Whether practicing in stone houses or performing in small halls, music remains one of the village’s most natural and enduring languages.

Art exhibitions

Art has always found a quiet place in Bardou. Since the early days, when Jean and Klaus welcomed painters, sculptors, and photographers into the village, creativity has been part of daily life. Artists found inspiration in the landscape and rhythm of Bardou – sketching on terraces, working in shared spaces, and capturing the spirit of the place. Over time, some of these works have reached beyond the village, exhibited in galleries across Europe. Still, the heart of Bardou’s art remains simple and rooted: a brushstroke in the morning light, a shared project among friends, or a quiet studio tucked into stone walls.
