It has been a bit over a month since the FSC spent a wonderful week in Paris, France for the Rencontres grégoriennes, sponsored by the Choeur grégorien de Paris, and what a week it was. Being a part of such a small group in a relatively rural area, you get the impression sometimes that there's not much out there. However, getting to sing the Divine Office in the company of 10-plus choirs from all across Europe in the most beautiful churches in Paris gave a whole new perspective and depth to our experience of chant.
I've picked out a few photos from our experience for your viewing pleasure. I might also add that we now have a few sample recordings on our website, for which there's a link right under the header picture.
For today, some photos from our Sunday solemn vespers at the stunning Eglise Saint-Louis-en-Ile.
