Le Choeur Grégorien de Paris comes to Maryland!

L’Opera Comique de Washington is honored to host The Gregorian Choir of Paris: A Tribute to Notre-Dame de Paris

Join us for a special concert featuring Le Choeur Grégorien de Paris, as they bring to life the ancient and sacred music that has been preserved and cherished at Notre-Dame de Paris for centuries. In this powerful performance, the Choir will explore the "Ars Antiqua"and its deep connections to Gregorian plainchant, showcasing the profound musical heritage of the world-renowned cathedral.

As Notre-Dame de Paris rises from the ashes after the devastating fire of April 2019, this concert celebrates both the tangible and intangible heritage of the iconic structure. While Notre-Dame’s masterful Gothic woodwork is being carefully reconstructed by skilled artisans, the Cathedral's sacred musical tradition—a rich legacy of chant, organum, and conductus—remains alive, drawing from the depths of history.

This event is particularly poignant as it comes just before the reopening of Notre-Dame in December 2024, on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. The Gregorian Choir of Paris will take audiences on a historical journey through music, paying homage to the cathedral’s restoration and the deep spiritual and artistic legacy that it represents.

This unique performance is a chance to experience the sacred and timeless music that has echoed through Notre-Dame de Paris for centuries. Celebrate the resilience of this magnificent cathedral and the artistry that continues to inspire and uplift generations.

Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to witness the beauty of Gregorian chant and support the ongoing revival of one of the world’s most beloved landmarks.
