Named a « Centre culturel de rencontre » (Cultural Encounter Centre) since 2003, Ambronay is a site where culture is offered to all, a site open to life. Children, teenagers, amateurs, professionals, researchers, students, international performing artists, young professionals...  Ambronay provides a creative space for the development of everyone.

For students and young musicians, the European Baroque Academy and the master classes provide multiple international projects for improvement and professional insertion.  

For young people, Ambronay provides artistic and teaching schemas "à la carte",  including the possibility of taking part in cultural classes.

For amateur musicians, every year the Festival Choir brings together between thirty and forty choral singers to work with well-known choir directors.

The research centre of Ambronay, which has chosen as its theme for artistic reflection  "Music and the Sacred", branches out in different directions:  researchers and creative artists work together to explore the intellectual, human, social and artistic ramifications of this theme. Continuing its goal of the professional insertion of young musicians and researchers, Ambronay will develop its productions in order to encourage the emergence of the talents of tomorrow.

To complete the picture, Ambronay's own record label has been distributed by harmonia mundi since 2005.

Thanks to the support of its institutional sponsors, a new phase of restoration and valorisation of its cultural heritage is beginning. The number of artist residencies should increase and business seminars will be welcomed.

Ambronay:  a site for quality, curiosity and creativity.
