Le Concert Spirituel is a French ensemble specialising in works of baroque music, played on period instruments.[1] Founded by Hervé Niquet in 1987, it is named after the 18th-century concert series Concert Spirituel. The group performs internationally, playing mostly rarely performed sacred music and operas, and making recordings. Its focus is on French music played at the court of Versailles.
