Ensemble Organum is a renowned musical group dedicated to the interpretation and performance of ancient music, with a focus on the Christian liturgical repertoire. Founded in 1982 by Marcel Pérès, who is also the ensemble's director, the group has distinguished itself through its rigorous research and innovative approach to medieval music. The ensemble has deep expertise in Gregorian chant and has become synonymous with the revival and authentic performance of early Western music, exploring repertoires that span from the early Middle Ages to the Renaissance.

The group's distinctive sound is characterized by a combination of scholarly interpretation and expressive vocal delivery, which allows the listeners to experience the spiritual and emotional depths of the medieval liturgical traditions. Ensemble Organum's discography beautifully captures the richness of various Christian rites, evident in recent releases such as "Le chant des Templiers," which delves into the sacred music of the Knights Templar, and "Compostela 'Ad vesperas Sancti Iacobi'," a homage to the Vespers of Saint James at Santiago de Compostela. Their attention to detail and historically informed performances of works like Guillaume de Machaut's "Messe de Notre-Dame" and the chants of Hildegard von Bingen have earned them international acclaim and a dedicated following among early music enthusiasts.
