Alsace has always been recognized as a land of music that continues to thrive today through its musical ensembles.
This cultural richness is evident not only in the professional realm of so-called “classical” music, but especially in the world of amateur music. There are countless choirs, concert bands, and specialized vocal and instrumental ensembles that enrich our region and help preserve numerous traditions.
This exhibition serves as a tribute to this world of amateur music—which is sometimes disparaged—while exploring its origins and the aspirations of the past. But above all, it is an opportunity to highlight the great diversity and enduring vitality of these musical practices—inherited from Alsace’s history and resolutely focused on the future.
