Concerts and events Since
Christmas 1974, Les Pastoureaux traditionally perform a series of concerts during the
Christmas and holiday season, in
Brussels (at the
Centre for Fine Arts and in the
Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula), as well as in
Wallonia. They also sing at various
music festivals, such as the
Festival of Wallonia and the
Festival of Flanders. Their numerous concerts include collaborations with artists such as the famous
bass-baritone José van Dam, the Belgian
soprano Marie-Noëlle de Callataÿ and the American
soprano Jeanette Thompson. Les Pastoureaux are regularly guests of private events, including most notably performances at the
Royal Palace of Brussels and the
Royal Castle of Laeken as well as their collaboration to the official show for the changeover to the
euro (
The Euro Bridge, Brussels, 31 December 2001). Besides, they are often called on for weddings ceremonies. On several occasions,
soloists of Les Pastoureaux have taken part in opera productions, at the National Opera of Belgium
La Monnaie and abroad. They represented Belgium at the
Eurovision Choir of the Year 2017 in
Riga,
Latvia.
