The Academy challenge?

Founded in 1993, the European Baroque Academy is one
of the longest running European projects designed to train
and offer a professional plateform in the Early Music sphere.
From 2008, the Ambronay Cultural Centre will diversify
its programme in response to the needs and challenges
of contemporary trends.

Three professional specialisations :

•  THE OPERATIC ACADEMY

An apprenticeship in baroque opera through participation in
a large-scale production combining singing, orchestral playing,
theatre and dance.

•  THE CONCERT ACADEMY

Development of the art of the orchestral player, section leader
and soloist in the concert arena.

• THE SOLOIST ACADEMY

The ‘one voice to a part' principle enables the study of the soloist's
craft within a production of 10 to 15 instrumentalists and singers.
