A true incubator of excellence, Julien Masmondet’s orchestral conducting class explores major repertoire works, French pieces, and new compositions. Thanks to partnerships with the ensemble Les Apaches! and the Orchestre de l’Opéra de Massy, students collaborate with top professional musicians. Sessions with the Chœur de Grenelle or the Chœur du COSU provide opportunities to work with leading vocal ensembles.
Each level includes complementary teaching units, some mandatory and others optional, depending on the chosen curriculum. Study equivalencies may also be granted.
