Orchestra conducting

A true hub of excellence, Julien Masmondet’s orchestral conducting class allows students to work closely with professional orchestral musicians through partnerships with ensembles such as Les Apaches, the Orchestre Lamoureux, the Orchestre de l’Opéra de Massy, and the Orchestre de l’Opéra Comique.

Each level includes complementary teaching units, some mandatory and others optional, depending on the chosen curriculum. Study equivalencies may also be granted.
