Instrumental and vocal programs

Let us quote for example Alice piérot, Marie Rouquié, Liv Heym, Matthieu Camilleri, Eleonor Lewis, Keiko Gomi, Cyril Chicken, Jeanne Jourquin, Marie Van Rhijn, Marouan Mankar-Bennis…
On the other hand, Amarillis collaborates very regularly with some of the best singers on the national and international scene (Patricia Petibon, Stephanie d'Oustrac, Sonya Yoncheva, Karine Deshayes, Mathias Vidal, Maïlys de Villoutreys, Benoît Arnould ...)
Under the leadership of Heloise Gaillard, the Ensemble approaches the various repertoires of European baroque music with the desire to explore a repertoire that is often unknown or even unpublished. The fruit of this musicological and historical work generates original thematic programs, fueling the humanist culture of listeners.

(concertos d’Antonio Vivaldi, concerts by Johann Sebastian Bach and Georg Philipp Telemann, Georg Friedrich Handel's chamber music repertoire…).
