The professional choir Arsys Bourgogne first appeared on the musical scene in October 1999 under the aegis of the Burgundy Region and the French Ministry of Culture.  The original project of the choir and its conductor Pierre Cao is to enhance its public's appreciation of five centuries of vocal music.
A choir today recognized as belonging to the few best choirs in Europe.

Arsys Bourgogne's forces vary from four to 32 singers.  The extreme professionalism which Arsys Bourgogne demands of its members enables the group to perform Baroque or Classical, Romantic or contemporary music.  Both the ensemble and its individual members attach great importance to vocal timbre.

Arsys Bourgogne performs both in France and elsewhere in Europe : Théâtre des Champs Elysées, Cité de la Musique in Paris, Arsenal in Metz, Auditorium in Dijon, Tonhalle in Zürich, Concertgebouw Brugge, Teatro Real in Madrid, Auditori in Girona, Philharmonie in Luxembourg, Salle Gaveau in Paris …
