Chorale franco-allemande de Paris

The Chorale Franco-Allemande de Paris is a choral group founded in 1971 in Paris by Bernard Lallement, a French choir conductor and composer dedicated to fostering cultural ties between France and Germany through choral music. Lallement led the choir until 2012, after which it was directed by Thomas Carré, with Emmanuel Berenz currently serving as chorus master. The choir is part of a broader network of Franco-German choirs established by Lallement in cities such as Berlin, Munich, and Bonn, all aiming to strengthen cultural exchange and friendship via singing.

Rehearsing regularly in Paris and Clamart, the Chorale Franco-Allemande de Paris performs a diverse repertoire that includes folk songs from France and Europe, sacred works, and classical pieces, reflecting its mission to unite cultures musically. Their recordings feature works like Bernard Lallement’s own compositions and harmonizations, as well as sacred music by composers such as Franz von Suppè and Adam Vaclav Michna. This ensemble represents a vibrant tradition of Franco-German choral collaboration with over five decades of musical activity.
