180 singers
For several months, nearly 180 choristers, including 140 young people, have been preparing La passion celtique-Ar basion vrasan oratorio in Breton by Christian Desbordes and Goulc’han Kervella. This work is inspired by traditional texts and melodies as well as Breton calvaries. The singers will be accompanied by an orchestra of around twenty professional musicians, both classical and traditional, during the five concerts of their summer tour, including the one in Saint-Brieuc.
The Petits chanteurs are choirs of adolescents aged 11 to 18, also called choirs, who practice singing – 4 or 5 hours per week – as part of their schooling. They are directed in Saint-Brieuc by Goulven Airault, and in Lannion by François-Xavier Kernin.
