Les Ombres
Since 2008, the ensemble Les Ombres has been committed to the discovery and rediscovery of French and European baroque music. In thirteen years, the ensemble has continued to expand its audience and to reinvent itself. It has succeeded in diversifying its projects, from chamber music to opera, by collaborating with renowned artists from various disciplines.

A prestigious and ambitious ensemble, Les Ombres has created a circle of loyal and passionate donors. These patrons, who play an indispensable role in the ensemble's projects, forge close links with the artistic team and follow the ensemble's activities closely.

Joining Le Cercle des Ombres means participating in an exciting artistic adventure. It means supporting an ensemble whose demanding approach is recognised in the world of classical music, and accompanying it in its ambition to pursue original programming without ceasing to innovate and to surround itself with young talent.

In 2021 and 2022, the musical repertoire of the Royal Chapel of the Château de Versailles will be honoured. Here we unveil this ambitious project which appeals to your generosity.
