From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arsys Bourgogne is a French vocal ensemble. Founded in 1999 by Pierre Cao,[1][2][3] it is now directed by Mihály Zeke.

History

[edit]

The choir was founded in October 1999 at the request of the Burgundy regional department of the French Ministry of Culture. It has worked with many different orchestras, including the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, the Concerto Köln, the Talens Lyriques, the Folies Françoises, the Cercle de l'Harmonie (Circle of Harmony), the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra, the Stavanger Symphonic Orchestra, the Limoges Baroque Ensemble, the Orchestra of European Soloists and the La Fenice Ensemble.

The ensemble has also performed in many different theatres, including the Tonhalle in Zürich, the Bruges Concertgebouw, the Teatro Real in Madrid, the Philharmonie Luxembourg, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées and Cité de la Musique in Paris, the Arsenal de Metz and the Auditorium de Dijon. The group has been invited to many festivals, both in France and abroad, including La Folle Journée.

Pierre Cao, the founder of the choir, retired as director after their concert on July 27, 2014. In March 2015, Mihály Zeke was named the new director.

Repertoire

[edit]

While the ensemble originally focused on performing Renaissance, Baroque and Classical music, it has now diversified its repertoire somewhat, including with works of contemporary composers.
