France


Les Petits Chanteurs à la croix de bois is a French choir that comes from Paris, founded in 1907. They are what you would call a concert choir. Most of our choirs are attached to churches and sing for services. Most of the European choirs practice a lot then go on concert tours.


The Petits Chanteurs actually tour a lot, Japan, Martinique, Korea in recent years. They are also another choir that has a lot of teen sopranos. You just keep on singing even if you get tall. I love it





They normally have a concert choir uniform like all the pictures above, but when they are singing sacred music or taking part in religious services they wear an "Aube" like this - makes them look like little monks


They are like the other two choirs I talked about in Europe. A real full tone, and its like you can hear the streets of Paris as they sing their hearts out. They seem to be a pretty good group too for friendship. They always look so happy even if they are being serious

  1. The average UK kid would not be seen dead dressed like this lol. Do you think this outfit does look better than it would with long trousers though? Personally I think it looks quite smart and I think if a choir is going to wear shorts it the group looks much better if all ages dress the same as they do in this group.
