MARCEL PÉRÈS (Ensemble Organum, Moissac, France) Marcel Pérès makes his Cappella Romana début directing an all-male chant ensemble in a program of medieval Latin hymnody for St. James.

With his celebrated Ensemble Organum, Marcel Pérès has made over 40 recordings of Latin chant and polyphony including Beneventan, Old Roman, Gallican, Carolingian, Mozarabic, Baroque and Renaissance repertoires.Cappella Romana is a 2012 Guest Choral Artist at St. James Cathedral.
