The ‘Jardin desVoix’, Les Arts Florissants’ biennial academy for young singers, launched in 2002, offers the opportunity for artists from all over the world, at the beginning of their careers, to benefit from a 15-day course on which they are taught by William Christie and Paul Agnew as well as specialists in language and stage-craft, and to subsequently appear with Les Arts Florissants in some of the most important international venues. le Jardin de Monsieur Rameau created in March 2013 at the Théâtre de Caen, and first performed in the spring of the same year, thus introduced these 6 young soloists to the publics of Luçon, Besançon, Brussels, Paris,Metz and New York, before continuing with a tour the following autumn to Versailles, Madrid, Saragossa, Moscow, Amsterdam and Helsinki. Centred around Rameau, this programme was a part of the celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the death of the composer, in 2014.

Le Jardin des Voix is one of the numerous projects made possible thanks to the partnerships that Les Arts Florissants has formed with the town of Caen and its theatre as well as the region of Basse-Normandie. Indeed, since 1990, the ensemble has greatly benefitted from this support and participates in the cultural life of Caen and the surrounding region, from Cherbourg to Coutances and Montagne-au-Perche to Alençon, presenting concerts and new opera productions there and developing outreach projects for school children and non-professionals alike. It was with the common goal of providing access to music to the widest possible audience, that these special relationships were developed, Les Arts Florissants becoming at the same time, over the years, a real ambassador, working for the influence of the city of Caen and of the region of Basse-Normandie, in France and in the world.
