Founded in 2010 under the impetus of Léo Warynski, Les Métaboles brings together professional singers committed to the a cappella choir repertoire. Their name, inspired by a piece by Henri Dutilleux (1916-2013), written around the idea of metamorphosis, evokes the choir's ability to transform itself according to the repertoire, while emphasising its contemporary roots. The ensemble is devoted to the full range of the choral repertoire, and performs it to a wide variety of audiences. Les Métaboles gives pride of place to contemporary composers by commissioning works, premiering works and disseminating the repertoire of living composers. The ensemble is also involved in training professionals through the ARCO composition academy and training courses for young choirmasters.
