Genre

Classical

The Accentus Chamber Choir, known in French as Le Choeur de Chamber Accentus, or often simply as Accentus, is one of the world's leading small choirs. The group has a wide repertoire ranging from Baroque to contemporary music. The group was founded in 1991 by Laurence Equilbey, who remains its director. Accentus is especially noted for its catalog of recordings. In 2020, it joined the historical-instrument group Les Siècles for a performance of Camille Saint-Saëns' early opera Le Timbre d'Argent. In 2025, it issued Beethoven: King Stephan, The Ruins of Athens & Leonore Prohaska, a collection of rarely heard incidental music by Beethoven. Accentus' recordings have earned several Diapason d'Or awards as well as a Grammy nomination.

Members of Accentus include, or have included, Laurence Equilbey.
