Founded in 2001 by tenor Benoît Haller, the Chapelle Rhénane is an ensemble of solo singers and instrumentalists. The team is dedicated to revisiting the great works of the European vocal repertoire. Its ambition is, through concerts and recordings, to reveal in these works the emotion, humanity and modernity capable of appealing to a wide contemporary audience. The challenge constantly taken up by the Chapelle Rhénane is to demonstrate that so-called classical music does not belong to the past, that it is not a collection of sound monuments to be contemplated with distance and respect, that it is not the preserve of a learned and privileged elite.

The duo Anthemis was born in 2017 out of an irresistible need for chamber music on the part of its two protagonists, both originally from Nancy. One, a concert pianist and professor at the Metz Conservatory, the other, the principal clarinetist of the National Orchestra of Metz Grand-Est. These kindred spirits recognized each other behind the scenes and in the antechambers of the beautiful concert halls where they have had the privilege of performing regularly. For six years now, they have tirelessly explored the most beautiful pages of French, English, American, and German chamber music in order to offer them to you generously in concerts and recordings, without artifice, like a beautiful bouquet of freshly picked wildflowers.
