The baroque ensemble Les Passagères was born in Paris in 2015 from the meeting of two female singers and a flutist, joined by the viola da gamba, the theorbo or harpsichord, depending on the project.
 
Wishing to highlight the evolution over time of a repertoire, in its continuities and ruptures, Les Passagères first build their programmes around the musical specificities of a country in the 17th and 18th centuries. The chosen repertoire, which is intimate, offers a wide range of atmospheres thanks to their variable geometry: vocal pieces for one or two voices, cantatas with top parts, instrumental pieces with continuo for top or bass and some arrangements written for the occasion.
 
In 2018, Les Passagères will release their first album Le Petit Tour, which, like the Grand Tour that young European aristocrats undertook during the Baroque period, brings together their first two programmes: Voyage en Italie (Italian music, 2016) and Tourbillon (French music, 2017).
 
After criss-crossing England and France through their programmes On the road again (2018) and Toutes voiles dehors (2019), in 2020 they create Murmures.
Exploring the German and Italian music of the early 18th century, this poetic programme will give rise to a second disc to be released on 30 June 2021.
 
Always eager to establish a link with the public, Les Passagères present the pieces and their instruments at each concert. Designed as moments of sharing, their concerts aim to bring to life the variety of colours, richness and finesse of Baroque music.
 
Their traditional summer tour through the Occitan region has enabled them to perform in rural areas for the past 5 years. In addition to about thirty concerts to their credit, they hold "repertoire discovery" workshops, instrument presentations and commented concerts every year.
 
This willingness to mediate is a profound motivation for Les Passagères who offer, throughout the year in the Paris region, workshops in schools, in hospitals (EHPAD, Musée d'art brut de l'hôpital Sainte-Anne) or in prisons (planned for 2021).
