The music festival concentrates on classical music and jazz with about 100 events, including opera, concerts, films, and talks, most of which are free and located in the historic courtyards of the city or the modern concert halls of Le Corum.
Jean-Noël Jeanneney, president and general manager of Radio France in 1985 declared the purpose the festival was to reconcile "the classic and the unexpected, great interpreters and musicians making their debut, ancient accents and the sonorities of tomorrow... in the great tradition of public service".

The Festival licenses, under its Euterp label, notable visual and audio recordings to Accord, the French arm of Universal Classics.
