FIGURE HUMAINE
chamber choir

figure humaine is a young, professional chamber choir dedicated to the cultivation and promotion of German-French choral and song music from the 19th to 21st centuries. Founded in 2016, the ensemble offers vocal music at the highest level and has quickly made a name for itself with its special choral sound and interpretations under the direction of Prof Denis Rouger.

The choir is now a permanent fixture in Stuttgart's concert scene and is a regular guest at renowned concert series and festivals in Germany and abroad, including the Ludwigsburger Schlossfestspielen, the Europäischen Kirchenmusikfestival Schwäbisch Gmünd, the Passauer Konzertwinter, the Festival Lied in Würzburg and the festival Les rencontres musicales in Vézélay (France). ‘Beautiful sound and stylistically confident’ are just two of the attributes that the ensemble has received in the press.  

The ensemble maintains a close relationship with the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra and the contemporary composers Philippe Mazé and Axel Ruoff. In addition, figure humaine was engaged by the Stuttgart State Ballet to sing Fauré's Requiem together with the state orchestra in a production in memory of the great ballet choreographer John Cranko.

In 2018 and 2021, the two portrait CDs ‘Kennst du das Land’ and ‘... wo die Zitronen blühn’, which were highly praised by the international press, and the CD ‘Rencontre - Begegnung’ in collaboration with SWR in 2024 have already been produced with Carus Verlag. In addition, figure humaine recorded the CDs for the two choir books ‘Loreley III’ and ‘Französische Chormusik’ (Best Edition Preis 2019) for Carus Verlag. The latest CD with a cappella works and some works for choir and organ by French composer Philippe Mazé will be released in 2025 (Coviello/SWR).

The choir is institutionally supported by the city of Stuttgart and the state of Baden-Württemberg.
