Presentation of the Allegri Ensemble:
Founded 12 years ago by the passionate enthusiasm of Jean-Marie Puissant, choir and orchestra conductor, and Marion Deprey, doctor and singer, the ALLEGRI Soloists Ensemble has had a rather unique journey. From staging operas in barns to participating in a Rolling Stones concert, to intimate recitals of sacred music in a Jordanian orphanage, a Lapp chapel, a Czech cathedral, and an Argentinian theater, it is above all a story of friendship, passion, and a human as well as artistic adventure. The ensemble brings together 8 soloist singers and performs numerous concerts in France and abroad.
The singers:
Marion Deprey and Marina Maireaux, soprano
Camille Mage and Angèle Meunier, alto
Nicolas Pattier and Damien Briand, tenor
Stéphane Candat and Christophe Sam, bass
Concert in partnership with the French Embassy in Canada.
