Les Petits Chanteurs de Saint-MartinThe choir was founded on the parish by its present master. It started with a group of about ten children aged 7 to 12. The group has now 30 or so members some of whom have been here since the beginning.. The group has grown over the years . The children meet regularly for practice. They take part in the services, in concerts but also in regional meetings. They can take part in special one-week practice during the school holidays too. Four years ago, they went on their first summer tour in Cologne. The following year, it was in Prague and Alsace. Last year, they went to Lourdes and in the Pyrennees, travelling with The Children’s choir of Brittany every year. Last summer , The two Breton choirs came to the notice of the chapel master of the sanctuary of Lourdes and its organist. They asked us to record a CD which will be released in December 2007 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary to Bernadette. The youngsers also intend to celebrate the tenth anniversary of their choir next year? They have a lot more plans! |
