Since its founding in 1999 by producer Frank Peterson (Enigma, Sarah Brightman, Andrea Bocelli), Gregorian has sold more than 10 million albums and performed for more than 3 million people in 31 countries with its blend of pop/rock songs and chorale in the style of medieval chants. For its current North American tour, supporting the albums Pure Chants I & II, the ensemble of eight classically trained English vocalists will highlight the music of Enigma, the Grammy-nominated recording project that blended new-age and world music with electronic and ambient sounds and sold an estimated 70 million worldwide.

Gregorian is a German band headed by Frank Peterson that performs Gregorian chant-inspired versions of modern pop and rock songs. The band features both vocal harmony and instrumental accompaniment. Originally, Gregorian was conceived as a more pop-oriented group in the vein of Enigma. In the year of 1989 a young Frank Peterson walked contemplatively through the royal monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial in Spain. The grounds of the medieval monastery left an indelible mark on his soul. Accompanying Peterson as he walked was the faint sound of modern-day music playing quietly through the headphones of his Walkman. Moved by the stark contrast of these two colliding worlds the initial idea of mixing ancient Gregorian music with modern day hits took hold of Peterson and the rest, as they say, is history.
