L'Harmonie de Bourges is a French wind orchestra based in Bourges, formed in late 1999 by merging two local ensembles - the SAMP and the Harmonie Municipale de Bourges. Around 80 musicians, both amateurs and advanced conservatory students, keep alive a tradition of French harmonie playing that dates back to 1878. The orchestra reached the top Excellence grade at the Étampes competition in 2004, and performs two main concerts each season: the Sainte-Cécile concert in November and a spring gala.
In March 2025, the orchestra held its gala concert of the 2024-2025 season at the Auditorium in Bourges in two performances (March 22 and 23), with a program featuring works by Thierry Deleruyella, John Williams, and Antonín Dvořák.
In November 2024, a traditional concert was held in honor of the feast of St. Cecilia at the Auditorium of the conservatory in Bourges; the program included original compositions for wind band by Thierry Deleruyella and José Alberto Piny, as well as film melodies.
