A leading figure of traditional music from France’s Massif Central region, Sylvie Pullès has spent more than 40 years bringing Auvergnat folklore and musette music to audiences across France and abroad. Nicknamed the “Queen of Auvergne,” she has performed on prestigious stages including the Olympia, the Casino de Paris and the Alhambra, while appearing at major festivals throughout Europe, Argentina and Canada. A prolific composer and versatile performer, she has built a repertoire of hundreds of original works and remains one of the most celebrated ambassadors of Auvergne’s musical heritage.

Accompanied for more than 30 years by bassist, guitarist and vocalist Jean‑Louis Fontana, Sylvie Pullès returns this year with a program highlighting the rich traditions of musette music through waltzes, bourrées and beloved melodies inspired by the Massif Central. Together, the duo offers an authentic and festive journey into a musical tradition that continues to inspire generations of dancers and accordion lovers alike.
