Concerts and recordings
Exceptional concerts
Besides its concerts and tours, the Academy takes part in different kinds of musical production.
It has notably performed at events of exception:
- World premiere, December 2016 — premiere of the work Syllabes divines, Mystère sur la prophétie de Jérémie, under the high patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Caroline of Hanover. These three lyric works inspired by the Book of Jeremiah were created by Thierry Escaich (Latin text), Michel Petrossian (Greek text) and Gad Barnéa (Hebrew text).
- Monaco, April 2017 — the Academy is invited by Princess Caroline of Hanover to sing the offices of Holy Week in the Principality of Monaco.
- Higginbottom concerts, April 2017 and May 2019 — at the close of an exceptional Masterclass, the Academy gives a concert in Paris under the direction of Sir Edward Higginbottom, former choirmaster of New College, Oxford, of international renown.
