Little presentation...

I am a 23 year-old biology and geology student in Lyon, France, and i have a passion for ancient music. I conduct a little vocal ensemble that I created in my university 3 years ago. We perform only a capella polyphonic mucic. I have not edited a lot of pieces yet, but i will, just wait a little bit !

My username is Joscquin. I wanted to be the real one (Josquin), but it seems to be already used by someone else... gggrrrr... well, joscquin is an alternative writing... and actually, who cares ?

I sang in...

• Voce del mare, Marseille, France: Pieces by Veljo Tormis, György Ligeti, Requiem by Gabriel Fauré, Quatre petites prières de saint François d'Assises by Francis Poulenc
• Chorale des Ecoles Normales Supérieures Lyonnaises, Lyon, France: Gloria by Vivaldi, Quattro pezzi sacri by Verdi, Requiem by Mozart, Requiem by Fauré, Magnificat by Bach and Vivaldi, Te deum and Jubilate bu Purcell, Great Mass in C minor by Mozart
• Guy's, Thomas' and King's music society choir, King's College, London, UK: Rejoice in the Lamb by Britten
• Chorale alternative de l'Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon: Vocal a capella pieces by Janequin, Josquin, Poulenc, Bortniansky, Certon, Passereau, Byrd, Monteverdi, Lassus...
