Les Éléments

For the French opéra-ballet, see Les élémens.

Les Éléments is a professional chamber choir[1] established in Toulouse in 1997 by choirmaster Joel Suhubiette.

The choir has sung commissioned works by contemporary composers including Zad Moultaka, Patrick Burgan and Philippe Hersant.

Les Éléments have worked with instrumental ensembles such as the la Chambre Philharmonique (under Emmanuel Krivine ), le Cercle de l'Harmonie (under Jérémie Rhorer), l'orchestre national du Capitole (under Tugan Sokhiev), and Les Talens Lyrique (under Christophe Rousset) in interpretation of choral works from the classical repertoire. This has encompassed Mozart's Requiem, cantatas, motets and the Mass in B minor by Johann Sebastian Bach, Fauré's Requiem, and the Nelson Mass by Joseph Haydn.

Les Éléments were awarded in the Victoires de la Musique of 2006 in the classification of a classical music ensemble.
