Le choeur de voix de voix d’homme les Chantres Musiciens a pour mission de promouvoir le chant choral et la culture musicale au Canada et à l’étranger en privilégiant les œuvres d’auteurs et de compositeurs canadiens et québécois contemporains. Le groupe permet également aux finissants de la Maîtrise des Petits Chanteurs du Mont-Royal de Montréal de continuer à chanter dans un ensemble de haut calibre.
Our History
Founded in 1992 by their current Artistic Director Gilbert Patenaude, Les Chantres Musiciens is a choir of young men aged 17 to 29 who hail from the celebrated Les Petits Chanteurs du Mont-Royal. Les Chantres Musiciens’ repertoire is both varied and complex, comprising a range of works from the Romantic period (including Mendelssohn, Schubert, Schumann, and Brahms) to Post-Romantic and modern compositions (including, for example, Schafer, Reger, Schönberg, and Langlais). The ensemble has earned a reputation for excellence, confirmed by prizes at national and international competitions, tours, and several distinguished recordings. Their first tour brought them through Germany and France, garnering critical and public acclaim, particularly at the Festival de Musique de Moselle. In 2007, the choir participated in the International Men’s Voice Festival in Pleyben. During a tour in 2008, Les Chantres Musiciens performed for audiences aboard a cruise ship on the Saint Lawrence River and around the Magdalen Islands. The special makeup of this vocal ensemble has opened doors to the performance of innovative repertoires that have remained to this day unexplored or inaccessible, either in concert or on record.
