The fervour of Gospel,
the power of Classical music.
A production of the highest standard, whose stage opens to those who never set foot on one.

The project
Excellence within everyone’s reach.
Born in 2018 at the Auditorium de Lyon with the Orchestre National de Lyon, Gospel Philharmonic Experience brings together on one stage a philharmonic orchestra, a choir of gospel soloists and a large choir of 120 voices.
Two worlds that rarely meet learn each other’s language. And in the large choir, under the same baton and with the same demands, sing people whom life usually keeps far from the concert hall.

Drôme-Ardèche
A place of creation, not a tour date.
Since 2020, our summer workshops have brought singers and musicians together for a week every year in the Drôme-Ardèche region of France.
We are now settling in the Ardèche all year round: during the autumn and spring school holidays, orchestra and choirs will work side by side, coached by our soloists and musicians.
Outreach
Music where it never goes. And those we meet there sing.
In prisons
At Toulon-La Farlède prison, Roanne detention centre and Lyon-Corbas prison, we have sung, and led others in song, many times.
With children from deprived neighbourhoods
At the invitation of Sacrée Musique, we sang for and with children from Marseille’s working-class neighbourhoods.
In the large choir
Selected by audition, with no music-reading required, amateur singers join the professionals on the greatest stages.
Patronage
Back a creation that opens the stage.
Born at the Auditorium de Lyon, rooted in Drôme-Ardèche, performed as far as Morocco: associate your name with a production of excellence and real social impact, in France and abroad.
