Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien, founded and directed by François Lazarevitch, sing and play early music. The ensemble presents creative, dance-orientated projects, and its interpretations are among the most innovative of recent years. Founded by François Lazarevitch in 2005, the ensemble Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien takes its name from the Confrérie Saint-Julien-des-Ménétriers, an important musicians' guild founded in Paris in the Middle Ages.
