A unique orchestra of musicians from a new generation, playing each repertoire on the appropriate historical instruments: Les Siècles puts several centuries of musical creation into perspective in a relevant and unexpected way.

Regular guests on the world's greatest stages, Les Siècles are in residence at the Atelier Lyrique de Tourcoing, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, in the Aisne and in the Hauts-de-France region.

An ensemble of international renown, Les Siècles perform regularly on the stages of London, Berlin, Lucerne, Salzburg, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Cologne, Bad Kissingen, Bremen, Brussels, Bucharest, Aldeburgh, Wiesbaden, Luxembourg, Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing, Rome, Venice. It is the third time Les Siècles are invited to perform at the renowned Enescu Festival.

Three-time winners of the prestigious Deutschen Schallplattenkritik prize and three-time winners of the Edison Klassiek prize, Les Siècles are often the only French ensemble shortlisted for the Gramophone Classical Music Award, which they won in 2018 for Classical Recording of the Year (Ravel, Daphnis et Chloé).

Since 2018, Les Siècles have started recording the complete orchestral music of Berlioz, Ravel and Debussy for the harmonia mundi label. They also made the world's first recordings of Saint-Saëns's Timbre d'argent, Félicien David's Christophe Colomb and Paul Dukas's cantata Velléda.

Keen to pass on their passion for classical music to as many people as possible, the ensemble's musicians regularly offer educational activities in schools, hospitals and prisons. The Orchestra is a partner of the Jeune Symphonie de l'Aisne, the Jeune Orchestre Européen Hector Berlioz and DEMOS in Hauts-de-France and Île-de-France. Les Siècles is also behind the ‘Music in Hospitals’ project offered in the pediatric haemato-oncology department at Trousseau Hospital in Paris and at Beauvais Hospital, and an educational residency at La Petite Bibliothèque Ronde in Clamart.
