The Le-je-ne-Scay-quoy Ensemble was founded by the French harpsichordist and organist Cécile Mansuy. One of the ensemble's centres of interest is the repertoire for obbligato harpsichord. The formation of the ensemble is therefore flexible, depending on the programs it interprets. Its members have acquired a rich and solid experience through their training with, among others, Amandine Beyer, Chiara Banchini, Enrico Gatti, Andrea Marcon, Christophe Coin, Paolo Pandolfo, Jordi Savall. Their artistic activity is crowned by various prizes in international competitions, CDs and radio recordings, as well as regular participation in prestigious festivals in Europe, Latin America and Asia with soloists or ensembles such as La Cetra Barockorchester, the Poème Harmonique, Philippe Jaroussky, Cecilia Bartoli, Nuria Rial, Vivica Genaux, Natalie Stutzmann, Patricia Petibon, Alfredo Bernardini, Enrico Onofri, Manfredo Kraemer, Leonardo García Alarcón etc .... The ensemble Le je-ne-Scay-quoy warmly thanks François Couperin for inspiring its name, taken from the ninth concert "les goûts réunis"!
