Teaching music is taught by excellent musicians, most of them trained in the Russian school, whatever their nationality. They are also outstanding concert performers. Throughout the year, the Conservatoire's teaching artists take to the stage to present original, innovative concerts and musical encounters and demanding both in terms of interpretation and repertoire :

In January, Michel Kedroff and his Balalaïka Ensemble presented a dreamlike concert of Slavonic romances.
In February, Yulia Orlova, Julie Gros and Byron Wallis linked Dvorjak and Shostakovich in their respective trios inspired by Slavic folk music.
In March, Olga Shishkina, accompanied on piano by Yulia Orlova, explores a vast repertoire on the gusli ranging from the baroque to the contemporary, while Oksana Sidyagina performs a programme of compositions and works transposed for harp.
In June, the 2-piano recital by Natalia Romanenko and Jonathan Benichou, the 4-hand recital by Yulia Orlva and Denis Grostsky, as well as recitals by young hopefuls such as Giorgi Krizhnenko and Julien Braidi, celebrate the centenary of Serge Rachmaninoff's birth.
