Le Poème Harmonique, a group of soloists who came together in 1998 under the direction of Vincent Dumestre, centers its artistic activity on music of the 17th and the early 18th century. The group's vocal and instrumental interpretations are enriched by other disciplines, with actors and dancers joining its singers and musicians in programs of chamber works. The ensemble also gets back to the sources of early French and Italian music through exploration of its relationships with traditional or folk music. Since it was founded, Le Poème Harmonique has made many concert tours in Europe and other parts of the world, including Latin America and the Far East, but the ensemble continues to devote 25% of its activity to the Haute-Normandie Region. Events of the past three seasons include the exceptional success of Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme and Baroque Carnival in Paris (Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Cité de la Musique), Lyon (Théâtre des Célestins), Brussels (Bozar), Prague (National Theatre), Budapest (Spring Festival), San Francisco (Calperf Festival), and so on. Other highlights of the group's season include long term stays in Brussels and San Francisco, and first appearances at the Accademia Santa Cecilia in Rome, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and at the major festivals in Boston and Granada.
