Heritage and innovation aligned as Chambord hosts Michael Canitrot's Monumental Tour
On September 23 , the Renaissance walls of the Château de Chambord came alive as Michael Canitrot brought his Monumental Tour to one of France’s most treasured landmarks. The evening was a fusion of architectural grandeur, technological achievement, and electronic music's very finest, reaffirming Canitrot's Monumental Tour as one of Europe's top live spectacles.
The night placed Canitrot’s artistic direction at the forefront, using Chambord as a backdrop to tell an audiovisual story about both heritage and progression. While the château provided the canvas and technology the colors, but it was Canitrot’s brushstrokes as a DJ that made the night truly come alive. With proceeds from the evening supporting the restoration of the château’s historic François I wing, the project once again proved itself as much about preservation as celebration.
Commenting on the night, he says,
“Chambord is a unique place where history, architecture, and grandeur come together in the service of beauty. More than five centuries after its creation, this masterpiece continues to captivate. To make my music resonate there and inscribe it within such a setting will remain an unforgettable experience.”
With Château de Chambord now part of the Monumental Tour’s growing story, Canitrot continues a journey that has already left its mark on landmarks such as Notre-Dame de Paris, Mont-Saint-Michel, the Eiffel Tower, Paris’s Palais Royal, and Zaragoza’s Basílica del Pilar. That vision resonated stronger than ever at Chambord, where centuries-old stone met cutting-edge sound design in a night that, too, will stand the test of time.
