Jeune Choeur e Choeur d’Enfants d’ile-de-France directed by Francis Bardot has toured the United States most every year since 1976. They make their return to the Cathedral of the Holy Cross where they last performed in 2019.
The Jeune Chœur d’Ile de France (Ile-de-France Youth Choir), founded in 1999, is a natural extension of the Chœur d’Enfants d’Ile de France (Ile-de-France Children’s Choir).
The young men and women in the choir, who range from 16 to 25 years of age, receive a high standard of training in vocal technique. They most often perform with their own soloists, some of which have successfully launched a professional career.
Since its inception, the Jeune Chœur d’Ile de France has received well-deserved notice in rarely performed and complex works, such as Poulenc’s Stabat Mater, Handel’s Dixit Dominus, Haydn’s Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross, Duruflé’s Requiem and Guy Ropartz’s Mass in honor of Saint Anne.
The choir’s annual tours have taken them to many countries, including the US, Canada, and Greece – also the destination of numerous music-themed trips over recent years.
The choir’s home is the Conservatoire Maurice Ravel in Levallois. Its singers are among the 1,800 students in this conservatory headed by Francis Bardot.
