The Benedictines of Solesmes

The Benedictines of Solesmes is a monastic community in France dedicated to prayer, study, and preserving traditional Gregorian chant. Founded in the 19th century, they focus on the spiritual life through reverent worship, maintaining a tranquil environment for reflection and learning. Renowned for their efforts to restore and promote medieval chant, they play a significant role in liturgical music and monastic discipline within the Catholic Church. Their work aims to deepen spiritual devotion and reconnect worship with its historical roots through music and contemplative practices.
