Le Chant Sacré is a male choir founded in 1951 and consisting of around twenty passionate singers – both adults and children. Its repertoire includes 19th-century Ashkenazi Jewish liturgy as well as Ladino melodies, songs from Central Europe and modern, Oriental and Hasidic compositions. The choir is one of the last synagogue choirs in Europe and performs at most of the Sabbath services in the large Synagogue de la Paix in Strasbourg, as well as at celebrations, weddings and ceremonies. The choir thus makes a significant contribution to the preservation of Ashkenazi and Alsatian liturgy.
