Founded in 2012 by violinist and conductor Mathieu Herzog, the Orchestre de Chambre Pelléas has quickly established itself as a distinctive figure on the French classical music scene.

Their approach is characterised by a constant search for sound balance and a particular attention to textural clarity, allowing audiences to rediscover well-known works in a new light and to highlight less frequently performed scores.

The repertoire of the Orchestre Pelléas spans from the Baroque period to contemporary creations, with a predilection for works from classicism and romanticism, which they approach with stylistic rigour and communicative fervour. Their interpretations are praised for their dynamism and their ability to create a true musical conversation between the instrumentalists. The orchestra has already collaborated with renowned soloists and has performed in prestigious venues, both in France and abroad, consolidating its reputation as a leading chamber ensemble.
