Welcome

"The Ensemble William Byrd, from France, know how to sing in such a way that the worst heathen could be converted by a motet or a Salve Regina. Their voices glide peacefully through the room as if seeking to fill the empty spaces without colliding with one another. The harmony of the spheres in chamber form".

Welcome to the website of the Ensemble William Byrd. For more than twenty years now, we have been performing almost everywhere in Europe and in the US. We have been interpreting a large repertoire - virtually all the vocal music of the Renaissance and the Baroque. We are convinced of the benefits that diversity brings to our understanding and our interpretations. We nearly always perform with one voice per part, in the manner of chamber music, seeking always to leave memories such as the one above: heightening the emotional effect of the music by the magic of the interaction of our solo voices, working together in a chamber context.
