Le Poeme Harmonique, a group of soloists who came together in 1998 under the direction of Vincent Dumestre, centres its artistic activity on music of the seventeenth and the early eighteenth century.
 
The group's vocal and instrumental interpretations are enriched by other disciplines, with actors and dancers joining its singers and musicians in programmes of chamber works – Le Ballet des Fees, Il Fasolo – and, since 2004, in large-scale stage productions, such as Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, a comedie-ballet by Moliere and Lully (stage director Benjamin Lazar) and Le Carnaval Baroque (directed by Cecile Roussat), an original show combining Italian music with the circus arts (artists trained at the Centre National des Arts du Cirque). The ensemble has presented the opera La Vie Humaine by Marazzoli (ideal for performance in a religious setting)
and will shortly be reviving the splendours of the tragedie lyrique with Cadmus et Hermione by Lully (both works are staged by Benjamin Lazar). For operatic performances Le Poeme Harmonique studies in depth the correspondences between 'period' aesthetics – use of candles for lighting, authentic gestures and, for Cadmus, painted canvases and machinery – and the aesthetics of modern stage productions. Interaction between artistic disciplines and real teamwork – working together as a company – are Le Poeme Harmonique's hallmark in Baroque performance today.
 
The ensemble also gets back to the sources of early French and Italian music through exploration of its relationships with traditional or folk music. The recording Aux Marches du Palais, for example, is devoted to French songs of oral tradition.

Since it was founded Le Poème Harmonique has made many concert tours in Europe and other parts of the world, including Latin America and the Far East, but the ensemble continues to devote twenty-five percent of its activity to the Haute-Normandie Region.
