A choral concert of modern and contemporary French choral works. By bringing together 19th century composer Ropartz, Poulenc, who was born at the end of the 19th century but lived most of his life in the 20th century, and Hersant/Ohana, who have written many choral works in 21st century France, this concert presented the evolution of French choral music, something which had previously not been explored to any great extent in Japan. The ensemble was conducted by Hiroshi Hamada, a vocalist and choral conductor who studied in France, and Kota Yanagishima, who studied in Germany, highlighting the various aspects of French works through their different approaches. The performers comprised Verset Versé, which was formed by ensemble singers from Tokyo to perform contemporary pieces, and Verset Versé Project Male Choir, which was put together for this concert through an open call.
