l'ensemble vocal calliopée
l'ensemble vocal et instrumental luscinia
L'ensemble vocal Christine Paillard is intended for adults
in the Parisian region, who wish to work seriously from a vocal point of
view as well as in rhythmic precision, melodious and sensitive
expression.
The repertoire of the EVCP is quite varied (baroque, classical, romantic or even operetta, contemporary, opera chorus, humoristic fantasia). The EVCP performs regularly with well known orchestras, both in France and abroad. The rehearsals take place one weekend per month and selectively by voice section, at Longpont sur Orge (Essonne).
L'Ensemble Vocal Cant'Ouvèze
consists of some 40 choristers from the southern part of the
Drôme and the northern Vaucluse. All of them are amateurs, the admission
is based on no other selection criteria apart from a good ear for music.
The only demand is regular precence at our weekly rehearsals and serious work. Every 3 months, we organise a weekend rehearsal as well. Cant’Ouvèze collaborates with musicians, soloists and professional orchestras, giving concerts, most often together with the Ensemble Vocal Christine Paillard.
Le chœur de chambre Calliopée consists of 10 female
singers, most of them also involved in Cant’Ouvèze, and explores with
the same demands the classical repertoire, unaccompanied or just with
organ, both sacred and profane.
The ambition of this choir of 3 to 9 voices, depending on the work interpreted, is to share with music-lovers the richness of polyphonic traditional music from all parts of the world and from all periods.
Thus Calliopée can give concerts with quite a broad range of presentation: intimate family concerts, or more complete programs, throughout the year.
L’ensemble vocal et instrumental Luscinia consists of 8 singers,
3 string instruments and a harpsichord player, either professionals or
amateurs working on a semi-professional level. Its repertoire, in 2008
dedicated to sacred music from the 17th and 18th centuries, is nowadays
more directed towards romantic and contemporary music. In 2009, Luscinia
gave a performance in collaboration with a theatrical group.
