Le Jardin des Voix is the bi-annual academy for promising young singers, founded by William Christie in 2002. We share moments of grace, uncertainty and disappointment as the film follows the jury through the auditioning process, with Paul Agnew (coach and singing teacher). Then, a year later, we find the ten winners at the Théâtre de Caen, where Les Arts Florissant are resident, for three weeks of intensive rehearsal prior to an international tour that will take them to London, Brussels, Lisbon, Paris , New York…

Includes footage from London’s Barbican Centre.
