At the heart of the symphonic choral repertoire
The Main Chorus
At the heart of the symphonic choral repertoire
In 1976, at the invitation of Daniel Barenboim, Arthur Oldham founded the Choir of the Orchestre de Paris. He went on to conduct it until 2002. Didier Bouture and Geoffroy Jourdain then shared the conducting of the Choir until 2010. Since September 2011, Lionel Sow has been its Chorusmaster.
The Chorus is composed of amateur singers with a very good level of singing. Mainly associated with the Orchestre de Paris, the chorus regularly collaborates with other symphonic formations, in Paris, in France or abroad. Its development requires constant training and a drive for artistic excellence.

The Academy of the Orchestre de Paris Chorus
Une pépinière de jeunes talents
A fertile preparatory setting for the development of young talent.
Created in September 2012 by Lionel Sow, this training course is aimed more particularly at young people aged between 18 and 25 with a solid vocal and musical background, and of which most of the choristers will come from the best choir schools, youth choirs or conservatory singing classes.
The specificity of the Academy is to train singers to a higher musical level thanks to an adapted pedagogy. The Academy participates in all the symphonic productions of the Orchestre de Paris Chorus, collaborating with guest conductors during the season, whilst concurrently performing independently, with varying numbers of singers, in other musical programmes.

The Chamber Choir
From the symphonic to the a cappella repertoire
Created in 2013, this Chamber Choir is aimed at very good singers who have a solid vocal training and a great autonomy in the preparation of the music. Its small size allows it to perform other works in addition to symphonic programmes. It can thus be brought in to perform alone, or with guest ensembles and orchestras.
Rehearsals and training
Rehearsals at the Philharmonie de Paris
The symphonic chorus which brings together the 3 formations (Main chorus, Academy, Chamber choir) rehearses all together on Tuesday evenings (outside school holidays), from 20h00 to 22h30 and in partial rehearsals on Monday or Wednesday from 20h to 22h (outside school holidays).
The Academy and the Chamber Choir also rehearse one weekend a month to work on programmes specific to each one of them.
Training
Pedagogical training is a constant concern within the Orchestre de Paris Chorus in order to maintain this level of excellence. The singers have the opportunity of taking singing lessons to continue to perfect their art. They can take individual lessons, given by a team of experienced singing teachers. These 45-minute lessons take place every week or every fortnight depending on the formula chosen, and are accompanied on the piano every other day. Registration is possible within the limit of available places and involves a financial contribution.
The academicians benefit from a pedagogical system that provides complementary lessons to the rehearsals and singing lessons which include ensemble music, interpretation and languages. Teaching team: Sylvia Kervorkian, Erick Mahé, Valérie Millot, Baptiste Jore, François Levy, Léa Sarfai, Camila Toro Beltran, Margot Modier, Daïnouri Choque, Susanna Poddighe.
