	Musicians - Concert Spirituel

Concert Spirituel was an 18th-century musical group in France. Le Concert Spirituel was established in 1725 by Anne Danican Philidor (1681-1731), the brother of the composer and master chess player François-André Danican Philidor (1726-1795). Le Concert Spirituel was the first concert organization in France specializing in the performance of French Grands Motets by composers as André Campra, Jean-Joseph Mondonville and Jean-Philippe Rameau. Le Concert Spirituel presented their performances in the Salle des Cent Suisses (Hall of Hundred Swiss) in the Palace of the Tuileries in Paris. The concerts came to an end in 1791 with the French Revolution.

In 1988 Hervé Niquet, a specialist in Baroque music, revived Le Concert Spirituel in order to perform the repertoire of French music composed in the eighteenth century on ancient instruments.
