MEET AROUND MUSIC

Born at the Cité internationale, the Choir has been bringing together campus residents and non-residents, students and working people, beginners and more experienced musicians for several decades, in a spirit of openness, benevolence towards others and love of music. Rich in this cultural mix and in the privileged setting of the Cité internationale, it welcomes every year, after auditioning, about a hundred amateur singers who wish to practice or discover choral singing.

The Choir has brought me into contact with alumni, residents and local people I would never have met. I gained confidence in my voice and my musical skills. Achieving musical quality and friendship between male and female singers is an ongoing process that has taken years.
