Created more than 35 years ago by Nicolas Porte, the Choeur des Petits Chanteurs de Saint-Marc has forged an international reputation. Present on many festivals and tours around the world, the film “Les Choristes” has allowed as many people as possible to access the magic of choral singing.

 

 

From Asia to the Middle East, passing through the African continent and of course Europe, the Choir has met with unparalleled success.

 

In 1986, the choir of the Petits Chanteurs de Saint-Marc was born in Lyon. It is the result of a daring project carried out jointly by the choir director, Nicolas Porte, and the director of Collège Saint-Marc. This choir of children offers students a quality artistic course in parallel with their school career, like the great European Masters (England, Germany, Austria ...).

 

 

Created from the beginning of about fifty Little Singers, this new ensemble is distinguished very quickly by its great musical quality, to the point that the choir is named, in 1995, Master of the Basilica Notre-Dame de Fourviere.

 

In 2002, one of the children of the choir was chosen to play the role of the Little Prince in a musical comedy at the Casino de Paris. In 2003, the choir was selected by Christophe Barratier and Bruno Coulais to perform and record the soundtrack of the film "Les Choristes". In 2004, with the release of the feature film broadcast in more than 65 countries, an incredible adventure begins around the world, for the Little Singers of Saint Mark.
