Le Concert Spirituel

Hervé Niquet founded Le Concert Spirituel in 1987 with the aim of breathing new life into the French grand motet. Thirty-five years later, he has made a name for himself as one of the very best experts in the interpretation of Baroque music, rediscovering both known and unknown works by European composers. In addition to Le Concert Spirituel, Hervé Niquet also conducts several orchestras and at opera houses around the world. From 2011 to 2019, Niquet was musical director of the Flemish Radio Choir and first guest conductor of the Brussels Philharmonic. Together with soprano Véronique Gens, he received numerous awards for their album Visions. In 2019, he received the honorary prize of the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik (German Record Critics’ Award) for the quality and diversity of his recordings.
