Chœur De Chambre De Namur

**Chœur De Chambre De Namur** is a Belgian vocal ensemble founded in 1987, celebrated for its vibrant interpretations of Baroque, Renaissance, and Classical choral works. Based in Namur, Belgium, this versatile chamber choir has carved out a niche in historically informed performances, often collaborating with top period-instrument ensembles like Les Talens Lyriques and Cappella Mediterranea. Under the direction of conductors such as Leonardo García Alarcón and Christophe Rousset, they’ve become a staple in the early music scene, breathing fresh life into rarely heard masterpieces.

Known for their crisp articulation and expressive depth, the choir’s discography shines with gems like Lully’s *Atys*, Handel’s *Semele*, and Fauré’s *Requiem*. They’ve also championed works by lesser-known composers, such as Elisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre’s *Céphale et Procris* and César Franck’s *Hulda*. Whether reviving Renaissance polyphony (Arcadelt’s *Missa Noe Noe*) or blending Mozart with Paisiello in Napoleonic-era works, they balance scholarly rigor with emotional resonance. A go-to ensemble for adventurous early music lovers, their recordings on labels like Ricercar and Ambronay Editions keep audiences hooked across centuries of sound.
