Our Story
First international choral events (1962-1964)
The first International Choral Singing festival, which was created by Claude Panterne, under the patronage of André Malraux, minister of Cultural Affairs, took place in Tours (in the Rex Theatre) from August 29th to September 1st 1962. The world creation of the oratorio Ishtar’s Descent into the Underworld by Sándor Szokolay was one of the striking moment of this first festival. On that occasion, the young Hungarian composer was introduced to Francis Poulenc, the very important guest of the festival.
The second festival saw the light two years later, welcoming several renowned ensembles (Zoltán Kodály choir from Debrecen conducted by György Gulyás, Lausanne vocal Ensemble conducted by Michel Corboz …). A Lamentation to the memory of Francis Poulenc (who died in 1963), a special composition by Sándor Szokolay, was created as the opening of this second festival by the Jean de Ockeghem Vocal Ensemble from Tours.
