French children’s choir Les Petits Chanteurs de Saint-Marc (in English The Little Singers of Saint Marc) will perform Oct. 27 at the Shenzhen Concert Hall.

    Founded in 1986 by Nicolas Porte, the choir is a mixed unit composed of 75 to 80 children from 10 to 15 years old. All are provided education by Saint-Marc College in Lyon.

    Les Petits Chanteurs acquired recognition with the release of the 2004 film “Les Choristes,” for which they provided the vocals for the soundtrack. One of the soloists, Jean-Baptiste Maunier, was chosen to play a lead role in the film.

    In addition to performances where they sing music from the film, the choir also performs Mozart’s opera-comedy, “Bastien and Bastienne.”

    In 1995, the choir was named the official choir of the Basilica Notre-Dame de Fourviere. The choir performs in France as well as abroad, having given performances in China, Canada, Russia, the United Kingdom, Lebanon, Japan, the United States and more. They also perform at festivals and patron humanitarian organizations.
