The Lyrique-en-mer Choir

The Lyrique en Mer choir currently numbers over 60 singers and performs mainly sacred music, which is presented in each of Belle-Ile's 4 churches during the summer festival.

The choir's repertoire is defined by David Jackson, the Festival's artistic director, and rehearsals are regularly scheduled throughout the year under his authority or that of a professional choral conductor: Gérald de Montmarin.

The choristers in this choir are all amateurs: rehearsals always take place on Belle-Ile, according to a schedule communicated at the beginning of the year. Each member organizes his or her own participation as best he or she can, but adapted tools help choristers to work personally in case of absence. 

No advanced musical knowledge is required to join the Lyrique en mer choir. All you need is a love of singing and a desire to share the emotion of choral singing. All you need to do is apply and come along to a rehearsal before making up your mind.
