Biography
Established in 1986 by Nicolas Porte at Lyon's Saint-Marc College, the mixed ensemble Les Petits Chanteurs de Saint-Marc—known in Spain as Los Chicos del Coro de Saint-Marc—comprises 75 singers aged ten to fifteen and has since toured its blend of spiritual hymns, Gregorian chants, and contemporary classical works across Europe, the U.S., and Asia. The group ranks among the world's foremost children's choirs, an identity reinforced by its role in Christophe Barratier's 2004 Oscar-nominated Les Choristes. In 1995 the singers were named the official children's choir of the Basilica Notre-Dame de Fourviere, where they continue to appear in regular church services and religious observances, yet their greatest visibility came when member Jean-Baptise Maunier won the lead role in that film. After issuing their self-titled debut in 1988, further studio releases such as 2007's Nos Reves and 2011's Sing the Beatles have sustained their recording success.
