Les Talens Lyriques

One California Plaza

Founded and directed by internationally-renowned harpsichordist & conductor Christophe Rousset, Les Talens Lyriques champions a broad repertoire spanning early Baroque to the beginnings of Romanticism while shining a light on the great masterpieces of musical history as well as missing links and little-known works. Based in Paris, Les Talens Lyriques performs all over the world in ensembles of varying sizes, exploring genres spanning opera, secular madrigals, cantatas, airs de cour, symphonies, and the vast corpus of sacred music (masses, motets, oratorios, Leçons de Ténèbres, etc.).
