The Val d’Arly Pop-up Choir

A passionate choir director and teacher, Frédéric Pineau enjoys exploring the choral repertoire in all its richness, whilst striving to introduce it to and encourage its performance by a wide range of audiences. He has been the musical and artistic director of the Rouen Chamber Choir since 2012, and in 2024 he founded the Rouen Youth Choir, which is affiliated with the Chamber Choir.
