This association also aims to organize concerts with or without the participation of the Ensemble Vocal.          The choice of the choir director is not to increase the number of singers, the recruitment of the choristers is carried out each year according to the number of vacant places, the current number of choristers per desk is relatively well distributed.

The new singers are immediately integrated into all activities, concerts included. Recruitment takes place every year from September 15th to October 30th. No special musical knowledge is required, but a cycle of two rehearsals is required before the choir director accepts the nomination. To join the choir, send an email to the Secretary of the Association who will forward to the relevant officials and provide in return the practical application information.
