Monaco's Little Singers set for Tunisia residency
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
The Petits Chanteurs de Monaco are heading to Tunisia for an artistic residency, extending a choral tradition that has represented the Principality abroad for over 50 years.
The Petits Chanteurs de Monaco, the choir long associated with Monaco Cathedral, are preparing for an artistic residency in Tunisia under the direction of Pierre Debbas. Rehearsals have been taking place at the Cathedral in the Rocher district, where the choristers train before their international engagements.
The choir has carried Monaco's musical heritage beyond its borders for more than half a century, performing at venues and events across several continents. This latest trip continues that pattern, with the young singers set to take part in a residency hosted in Tunisia, though further details of the host institution and performance dates have yet to be confirmed.
For residents, the choir remains one of the Principality's most recognisable cultural exports, regularly drawing attention at state and religious occasions in Monaco itself, including ceremonies at the Cathedral where Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace are buried.
