Jeune Orchestre Rameau

An exceptional educational and artistic project

The orchestra benefits from top-level coaching by specialists in Baroque music and the French repertoire. In collaboration with prestigious institutions such as the Conservatoire Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris (CNSMDP), the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles, the Haute École de Musique de Genève and the Sistema des orchestres du Venezuela, the JOR offers its musicians immersive training, focusing on historically informed practices and the rediscovery of little-known works.

An orchestra faithful to the great ensembles of the time

The ambition of the Jeune Orchestre Rameau is to achieve a full orchestra of around 50 musicians, in the image of the orchestra of the Académie Royale de Musique in Rameau's time, in order to restore all the richness and sonic power of this repertoire.

A mission to rediscover our musical heritage

Thanks to a partnership with Sylvie Bouissou (CNRS), director of the Jean-Philippe Rameau - Opera omnia publishing house (Bärenreiter), the JOR is actively contributing to the rehabilitation of previously unpublished works by the composer. The Opera Omnia team is currently preparing the edition of several previously unpublished scores, specially selected for the orchestra.

International influence through recordings

The Jeune Orchestre Rameau has also made a name for itself through its acclaimed recordings on the Paraty label, distributed by PIAS-Universal.

Guerre et Paix, the JOR's first album, was awarded the Prix d'Excellence du disque by Scherzo magazine in Spain, and has been selected as one of the best recordings of 2022.

Concerts et Sextuor is the JOR's second album, a fusion of the sextet version and the harpsichord concertante part of the first version from 1741.

An orchestra on the move, between tradition and modernity

Driven by a desire to transmit and innovate, the Jeune Orchestre Rameau has established itself as a key player in the rehabilitation of France's orchestral heritage. It offers young musicians an immersive experience, while enabling audiences to rediscover Rameau's audacity and modernity in a new light.

Join us in this unique musical adventure and let yourself be carried away by the richness of this priceless repertoire.
