The Original International Serenade Festival!

Lovers and artists from around the globe make the annual pilgrimage to our festivals and workshops that are held around the world in locations that inspire with their history, beauty and ambiance. During the week, talented vocalists perform romantic songs in local parks, streets, theaters and bars. They sing on balconies, main stages, lakeshores and castle steps. The main event is the culmination of the master classes held throughout the week. 

Directed by internationally acclaimed American recording artist VINX. The festivals and their masterclass series have been held in multiple venues in the United States, Africa and Europe, most recently near Carcassonne, France. We are excited to be bringing you many more opportunities worldwide! 

"I've travelled to and performed in many music festivals during my career, always aiming to give a life changing performance and with the goal of being invited back. The first time is always the hardest challenge... who will give you a chance in a foreign land where you are not a household name? I've always been in a great position to discover rising stars and great artists who are at all stages of their careers. The International Sérénade Festival is about mentoring and discovery. I have wanted to create an event that could give artists a way to be heard by promoters, small club owners and to find new fans to return to. We all know that this is the way to build a career ... baby stepping into the hearts of true music lovers. It is also very important to enhance the creative economy of villages and small communities that would normally not be able to afford the chance to host such a global event!"

"Our Festival idea was born of love and respect for our new home in France... we wanted to share the magic of the World and its people with our neighbours!  The first Festival of Serenades was actually our wedding reception in a small village in the south of France.  We received such an overwhelming response from the artists, that we vowed to continue the tradition throughout the world... please enjoy this video and we hope to see you soon!!
