Bring the Ardèche on stage
Excellence within everyone’s reach: support an exceptional production that opens its stage to those who never stand on one, from Drôme-Ardèche to the world.
The project
A production of excellence, an open stage.
Born in 2018 at the Auditorium de Lyon, rooted in Drôme-Ardèche, performed from Strasbourg to Morocco: Gospel Philharmonic Experience brings together a philharmonic orchestra, leading gospel soloists and a large amateur choir.
And we take music where it rarely goes: into prisons, hospitals and deprived neighbourhoods.

Why support us
What your support makes possible.
No artistic compromise
Participants are prepared by professionals, then conducted by Pascal Horecka. Audiences come for an exceptional concert, not for a charity event.
Two worlds opening up
Classical musicians and gospel singers rehearse together. Classical audiences discover Gospel; gospel lovers step into the symphonic world.
Local roots, wide reach
Every summer in Drôme-Ardèche since 2020, we also perform in Lyon, Strasbourg, Marseille, Paris and abroad.
Music where it never goes
Prisons, hospitals, deprived neighbourhoods: your gifts directly fund this work.
Our patrons
From our region to the world.
The project was born in one region, but it speaks to everyone who believes excellence should be shared. Four circles of patrons bring it to life.
01
Drôme-Ardèche
Local businesses and individuals: a project of national standing on your doorstep, with concerts and open rehearsals for your teams, clients and friends.
02
Lyon and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
Born at the Auditorium de Lyon, the project speaks to the region’s companies and foundations seeking to give real substance to their CSR commitments: inclusion, access to culture, young people.
03
Across France
Corporate and sheltered foundations supporting culture and inclusion: our work in prisons and with people kept away from culture is at the heart of their priorities.
04
Internationally
The gospel community, friends of France and French companies abroad: a project that brings cultures into dialogue, from Lyon to Fez.

A commitment people can see.

- Host your guests at a concert, a rehearsal or a private musical moment.
The Patrons’ Circle
Experience the project from the inside.
Every patron joins the Circle: an open rehearsal and a meeting with Pascal Horecka and the artists each season, news of the project throughout the year, and a report on what your support made possible.
From abroad
Supporting us from outside France.
Do you live, or is your company based, outside France? Write to us: we will work out with you the best way to give, including through cross-border giving networks in Europe or a partner foundation in the United States, so that you can benefit from your own country’s tax advantages where possible.
We correspond in English and French.
Let’s meet
Let’s build the next season together.
Pascal Horecka, artistic director, personally meets every partner.
