Rigour and fervour are the magic ingredients of the mutual confidence which exists between the Ensemble Aedes’ 17 singers and their founder and director Mathieu Romano.

The Ensemble Aedes works regularly with such prestigious groups as the Orchestre de Paris, Les Siècles, Les Musiciens du Louvre, the Orchestre National de France and Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and the Latvian Radio Choir.
Artist-in-residence at the Théâtre Impérial de Compiègne and the Cité de la Voix in Vézelay, the Ensemble Aedes has performed in many prestigious venues – the Philharmonie de Paris, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, the Royal Opera of Versailles, the Bordeaux Opera, the Paris Opera, the Opera Comique, Vienna Konzerthaus – and at the Aix-en-Provence, Chaise-Dieu, Besançon, Radio France Montpellier and Grenada festivals.

In 2019 Aedes has been invited to the Paris Opera for 18 performances of Stravinsky’s Les Noces.

It is the extreme and much-acclaimed clarity and precision of the Ensemble Aedes which makes the texts of the poetry we sing accessible to our audiences. French music naturally has pride of place, the ensemble’s cornerstone being the a cappella repertoire of the 20th and 21st centuries.

The Ensemble Aedes follows its own particular pathway within this vast repertoire, constantly revitalising its approach through a series of original partnerships.
