From the beginning, an innovative and demanding polyphonic repertoire is the hallmark of these choirs in La Friche de la Belle de Mai. It brings together amateurs wishing to work with professionals with a high artistic standard and is intended to encourage, promote and support amateur vocal practice.
It offers the discovery of new vocal repertoires through the organization of weekly chorus rehearsals, weekends, workshops, vocal meetings and public performances.
In 2021 two choirs exist within the association
The mixed choir : « Les MardiSonnants » : 28 choristers
The female choir: « The great team» : 5 choristers
They are led by Brigitte Cirla artistic director and choir director, and Isabelle Lopez vocal technique teacher. They sing in original language, contemporary works of the 20 and 21st century.
Every year, they look for an in-depth exchange with a choir from another region or country. They perform in theatres, churches and the streets, as well as in culturally isolated places: retirement homes, prisons, psychiatric hospitals.
