Sorbonne University Choir & Orchestra

The Sorbonne University Choir & Orchestra (Chœur & Orchestre Sorbonne Université, COSU) brings together 120 enthusiastic and passionate young musicians around an ambitious musical project which pursues Sorbonne University’s missions linked to education and knowledge dissemination.

Developed within the framework of the educational, cultural and scientific policies of Sorbonne University, and in keeping with musicological research, the COSU's programming draws from not only mainstays of the repertoire but also never or rarely played works, as well as premieres of commissioned pieces.

Led by orchestral and choral conductors Nicolas Agullo and Frédéric Pineau, both ensembles often perform in outstanding venues, in France (Philharmonie de Paris, Seine Musicale, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Salle Gaveau, Chorégies d’Orange…) and internationally (Germany, Italy, Mexico, Poland, UAE...).
