L’Académie du Disque Lyrique awarded three“Orphées d’Or” for the following recordings of choirs supported by the Orange Foundation:
- The Pygmalion ensemble, directed by Raphaël Pichon, for his first CD “Missae Breves, BWV 234 & 235” by Johann Sebastian Bach (Alpha label);
- La Chapelle Rhénane, directed by Benoît Haller, for his recording of “Membra Jesu Nostri” by Dietrich Buxtehude (K617 label);

As a music patron, the Orange Foundation has been providing long term support for these three vocal ensembles. It helps with their development and encourages them at every stage of their musical work: research, creation, distribution and recording.
A fourth award was attributed to French Melodies “Songs” by Guy Sacre with Billy Eïdi, Florence Katz and Jean-François Gardeil. The Orange Foundation supported the Timpani label for the ire-release of this major record collection.
The Foundation is proud to be contributing to the success of these ensembles and is eager to congratulate them warmly for these Orphées awards, that reward exemplary research work and musical interpretation.

the Orange Foundation
Since its creation in 1987, the Orange Foundation has been conducting a major programme of corporate philanthropy which is the continuation of its company mission: giving everyone the means to communicate, fighting against sensory and social isolation as well as promoting cultural fulfilment. The Orange Foundation is involved in three fields:
health to create links by helping autistic persons, and seeking to improve the autonomy and quality of life of persons suffering from visual or auditory impairments.
education to build links by contributing to the fight against illiteracy and by encouraging the education of girls in developing countries.
culture for developing links by supporting the collective practice of vocal music.
Beyond its actions in France, the Foundation unites and coordinates all group corporate philantropy initiatives throughout the world. Projects are thus supported in 27 countries in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
