Damien Poisblaud

Damien Poisblaud (born 13 April 1961 in Maillé in Vendée) is a French cantor specializing in Gregorian chant.

[1] Damien Poisblaud took interest in gregorian singing in 1980 which he practiced in a choir for more than fifteen years.

He subsequently followed the teachings of Marie-Noël Colette at the École pratique des hautes études and that of Jean-Yves Hameline[3] on the anthropology of the ritual gesture.

With the band Les Paraphonistes which he founded in 1998, he undertook to revisit the repertoire of the church fauxbourdons of the 18th and 19th centuries.

Since 2008, he has been singing the Sunday Gregorian Mass at the Thoronet Abbey, at the request of Mgr Dominique Rey, bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fréjus-Toulon.
