Orchestra conducting

A veritable breeding ground for excellence, Julien Masmondet’s conducting class gives students the opportunity to work with professional orchestral musicians, thanks to partnerships with Les Apaches, Orchestre Lamoureux, Orchestre de l’Opéra de Massy and Orchestre de l’Opéra Comique.

Each level has its own set of complementary teaching units, either compulsory or optional, depending on the curriculum chosen. Equivalence of studies may be granted.
