Early Music Voices: Cantores

Based in Tours since its creation, award winning Ensemble Diabolus in Musica(directed by Antoine Guerber) works from manuscript sources and specializes in unpublished repertoire. Cantores, presented by 6 solo male voices, uses music from the manuscripts of the Pope's chapel in Avignon, including many works that have not been sung since the 14th century.

Bio of the group:

Since 1992, Diabolus in Musica has been dedicating itself to the study and the interpretation of all medieval musics, from the Gregorian chant up to the great polyphonies of the 15th century, with a preference for French 12th and 13th centuries. Basing its work on musical and historic research, the ensemble directly works on manuscript sources and focuses on unpublished works and repertoires. Our programs always approach the middle Ages in an original way, placing the music in its historical and artistic and social context, thanks to deep research on the medieval mentality and sensitivity.
