Les Agrémens

**Les Agrémens** is a Belgian early music ensemble founded in 1992 and based in Namur, known for reviving forgotten Baroque and Classical gems with scholarly flair and vibrant energy. Led by conductor Guy Van Waas, the group specializes in historically informed performances, often partnering with the Chœur de Chambre de Namur to breathe life into French operas, sacred works, and instrumental pieces from the 17th to early 19th centuries. Their discography—packed with releases like Gossec’s *Thésée*, Grétry’s *La caravane du Caire*, and Charpentier’s *Noëls*—showcases their knack for unearthing rare scores, from grand motets composed for Louis XVI to dramatic oratorios like Kreutzer’s *La mort d’Abel*. With a mix of precision and warmth, they turn dusty manuscripts into lively auditory time capsules, making them a go-to for listeners craving fresh takes on composers who’ve slipped under the mainstream radar.
