The sacred repertoire of 17th-century Europe, the golden age of choral singing with its strong connection to sacred texts, not only captured the spirit of its time, but transcended it. Its artistic depth still resonates today, and its timeless appeal continues to inspire contemporary performers and composers alike.

The choir, here made up of 13 singers a cappella or accompanied by organ, explores these complex, harmonious polyphonies, their expressive double-chorus lines, their subtle interiority or their flamboyant power in great emotional density. Organ pieces complete the program.
