Choir of Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris France
Henri Chalet, Director; Yves Castagnet, Organist

Works by Alain, Fauré, Duruflé, Vierne, Franck, Poulenc, Castagnet.
In April 2019, Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris, was nearly destroyed by fire, a tragedy for both Christian worshippers and architectural devotees. 4 years later, the Cathedral is in the process of a massive restoration project which is slated to be completed by the end of 2024.
Founded in 1991 by the City of Paris and the Parisian Diocesan Association, Musique Sacrée at Notre Dame de Paris has the task of teaching music, training singers, organizing musical accompaniment of liturgy, proposing concerts and recitals, and carrying out research into the rich musical inheritance of Notre Dame Cathedral. It plays an important role in the creation of new musical works and in their circulation. The first and central element is the Choir School of Notre Dame (Maîtrise), composed of the Children’s Choir, the Young Ensemble, the Adult Choir and the Gregorian Ensemble. Join us for this free concert as we welcome this historic Choir, under the direction of Henri Chalet, from one of the truly iconic Cathedrals of the world, in a program of French choral & organ masterworks.
