Music

Music in Mauritius lives everywhere. It flows through traditions and travels across cultures, shaping a soundscape that is as diverse as the island itself. From Creole Sega, rooted in rhythm and memory, to Indian and Chinese musical heritages, from classical soloists and ensembles to jazz, pop, choirs, contemporary works, musicals, and operettas—this musical life is rich, vibrant, and deeply alive.

Concerts unfold in many settings: in major cultural venues such as the Caudan Arts Centre, at the concert hall of the Mahatma Gandhi Institute, the Institut Français de Maurice, and the Trianon Concert Hall; within the quiet elegance of colonial houses like the Château de Labourdonnais, Demeure de Saint Antoine, and Maison de l’Étoile; inside churches, where sound rises with light; and under open skies, notably at the Moka Amphitheatre.

This gallery brings together photographs from concerts where I was invited to observe, listen, and record. These images are not only documents of performance, but traces of fleeting moments—of music meeting space, of musicians and audiences sharing time, breath, and presence.
