The famed Choir of the Cathedral of Notre Dame, Paris will perform in the new Christ Cathedral under the direction of Henri Chalet with organist Yves Castagnet. This unforgetible performance will forever link these two great cathedrals of the world. 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 also 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. The choirs perform regularly with organ and on occasion with a Baroque or Symphony orchestra.
