ENSEMBLE VOX CANTORIS
The Vox Cantoris ensemble (the voice of the cantor) was founded by Jean-Christophe Candau, in 2000 in the Alpes Maritimes. Since 2007 the ensemble has been in residence in La Réole, in Gironde, and contributed, in 2009, to the creation of the Early Music Festival of the same city. Direct reading from original notation, lectern singing, ornamentation, are some aspects of this research work, underpinned by the study of musical treatises, collaboration with contemporary musicologists and the collection of still-living oral traditions. The Vox Cantoris ensemble has therefore given itself the mission of bringing to life this musical heritage (monodic and polyphonic) which extends from the High Middle Ages up to the 19th century.

ORGAN: Jean-Christophe Revel
Jean-Christophe Revel discovered the organ with Jean-Marie Meignien, with a predilection for ancient organ. This taste leads him to constantly question the links between music and history, ancient repertoires and contemporary creations, in an in-depth work of transmitting musical practices. Trained with Odile Bailleux, he obtained a first prize in organ and improvement, with specialization in ancient music. He devoted his master’s degree to the tablature of B. Schmidt the Younger (1607) under the direction of Georgie Durosoir. Encounters with Jean Boyer and Jean-Charles Ablitzer also marked his path. A convinced chamber musician, he performs notably alongside James Bowman, Josep Cabré, Eugène Green, Marcel Pérès or Jean Tubéry, as well as with ensembles like Les Musiciens du Parnasse or Sospiranti. Curious about all musical genres, he works as much in the fields of ancient music as in those of today’s music with numerous contemporary composers such as J. Lenot, E. Tanguy, R. Campo, B. Mantovani or G. Pesson, who write for him. Regularly invited to numerous festivals in France and abroad, he has recorded for France Musique and television. Holder of the proficiency certificate in ancient music, he is the pedagogical director of the ancient music department of the CRR of Paris and co-directs that of the PSPBB, where he teaches basso continuo and ancient repertoires on organ. He also directs the Claviers en Pays d’Auch festival, where he is the titular organist of the remarkable Jean de Joyeuse organ of Sainte-Marie Cathedral.”
