Overview

Los Chicos del Coro (Les Choristes / The Chorus) is the original motion picture soundtrack to the acclaimed French film directed by Christophe Barratier, with music composed and conducted by Bruno Coulais. Released in 2004, this album became a global sensation for its tender choral harmonies and emotional depth.

The film tells the story of a teacher who transforms the lives of troubled boys in a postwar French boarding school through the power of music. Coulais’ score, performed by Les Petits Chanteurs de Saint-Marc with the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra, captures both the melancholy and hope at the heart of the story.

Highlighted by the beloved songs “Vois sur ton chemin”, “Caresse sur l’océan”, and “Cerf-volant”, the soundtrack received international acclaim and numerous awards, including the César Award for Best Music Written for a Film and nominations for both BAFTA and Academy Awards.
