Choeur D'oratorio De Paris

The Chœur d'Oratorio de Paris is a French mixed choir, funded in 1989 by Jean Sourisse. After forming the Chœur of the Concerts Colonne orchestra and conducting it for seven years, Jean Sourisse created the Chœur d'Oratorio de Paris in November 1989; the Chœur today consists of 70 to 80 experienced but non-professional singers. The Chœur d’Oratorio de Paris addresses the repertoire best suited to its size and vocation: masses, motets, Requiem and oratorios by Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Brahms, César Franck, Gabriel Fauré, Maurice Duruflé, Francis Poulenc, without neglecting the secular repertoire of the 19th and 20th centuries: Schumann, Berlioz, Ravel and many others. Since its creation, the Choir has been hired by Jean-Claude Malgoire's La Grande Écurie et la Chambre du Roy, and the Orchestre de chambre de Paris, then conducted by Armin Jordan, orchestras with which the Choir has had the opportunity to collaborate many times since then.
