‘The Funeral of Anne of Brittany Concert’ in Saint Malo Cathedral May 1st

On May 1st at Saint Malo Cathedral in Brittany a concert will be held beginning at 20:30. Featuring the music of Antoine de Févin the funeral service and speeches made at the 1514 funeral of Anne of Brittany will be given. This comes after the highly successful concert given at Nantes Cathedral on 5 April. This year 2014 marks the 500th anniversary of the death of Anne of Brittany. It has been one that has seen continued demonstrations throughout Brittany. They have called for greater Breton autonomy and the reunification of the Loire-Atlantique which contains the City of Nantes with the rest of Brittany. Anne, Duchess of Brittany, held the culture and independence of Brittany dear to her heart and would have found the separation of Nantes (Breton: Naoned) from the rest of Brittany inconceivable.
