A prestigious singing competition, the “La Première Voix” springboard, is exported to the Gers

Born in Deux-Sèvres in 2016, the talent springboard “La Première Voix” is a prestigious singing competition which already has 7 editions behind it. Approached by the Berdoues festival committee who appreciated the concept, the co-founder of the springboard, originally from the region, decided to transfer the event to the Gers next year. It is therefore Saturday April 12 that the final will take place, on the stage of the Berdoues village hall.

15 rigorously selected amateur singers will perform in front of an audience and a jury of music professionals charged with the difficult mission of choosing the winner. The winner will benefit from rewards to advance their musical project, including a day in the recording studio (Hesat Recordings in Pessac), as well as internships in renowned music and singing schools.

Magali Ripoll, president of the jury

This year, “La Première Voix” will welcome Magali Ripoll as president of the jury. A singer and musician with a well-established background, she is appreciated by audiences of all ages thanks to her daily participation as lead singer of the orchestra of the show “N’oubli pas les mots” on “France 2”. “We are honored to welcome Magali Ripoll this year,” said Florian Olivarès, one of the organizers.
