St Gauderic

READ ABOUT THE DREAM PROJECT AUGUST 2013

St Gauderic is a small village in the southwest of France.  The nearest town is Mirepoix; Carcassonne is 30 minutes drive and Toulouse 60 mins.

We are Neil and Helen Taylor, currently living in Chadderton, part of Oldham, and we have had a holiday cottage in St Gauderic for more than 20 years, and are planning to retire there in due course.

As musicians ourselves, we have taken to promoting musical events in and around St Gauderic, using local musicians (both English, French and other nationalities) and also attracting UK-based musicians, professional and amateur.

The first St Gauderic Music Festival was in 2007, and was so well received by the musicians and audiences that we ran another in 2009, then 2010, 2011 and 2012.

This website is  a record of the events that have happened and publicity for the next event.  In 2013, there will be no festival at St Gauderic, but we are promoting a singing workshop and concert in Manchester at the equivalent time of year, and would welcome experienced choral singers to join us on 24/25 August.  More info elsewhere on this website.

Here is a selection of comments from satisfied participants in the Festival in August 2007:

“Many thanks for a wonderful Festival.  We really enjoyed ourselves and felt inspired by the Choral Direction.”

“Thanks for having us!  The south of France was as beautiful as you promised”

“Congratulations on a really successful Festival, and thank you for so much hard work…”

“Thanks so much for a wonderful singing holiday.  The concerts were well received, and the whole thing was a great experience.  I’m glad we stayed on an extra day to enjoy the sunshine!”
