 Occasionally the ensemble has made forays into contemporary repertoire, notably performing the world premiere of Betsy Jolas's "Motets III - Hunc igitur terrorem" at a gala on the occasion of the ensemble's 20th anniversary in 1999.Many former members of "Les Arts Florissants" have gone on to have successful music careers outside of the organization.These include several internationally renowned conductors in the field of early music, including Marc Minkowski (founder of Les Musiciens du Louvre), Christophe Rousset (founder of Les Talens Lyriques), Hugo Reyne (founder of La Simphonie du Marais), and Hervé Niquet (founder of Le Concert Spirituel).
