REPERTOIRE

The repertoire is carefully chosen by conductor Laurier Fagnan, according to the composition of the choir, the distribution of voices and the level of the choristers. From traditional repertory works to more modern works, the musical menu is always diverse, interesting and offers interesting challenges for the choir singers.
