competition

competitive entrance examination preparation class

The aim of the preparatory class for international competitions is to offer prize-winners a course of further training under the collective guidance of great masters and internationally renowned pianists from the Russian and French piano schools, whose artistic individualities bear witness to the precious uniqueness of these schools.

The aim is to offer a cross-disciplinary view of each student's abilities, and then to collectively pass on a body of knowledge and experience rich in the diversity of visions of the artists involved.

International soloists and grand masters make up the artistic and pedagogical direction of the international competition preparation class: Rena Shereshevskaya, Michel Dalberto, David Fray, Nikolaï Lugansky, Jean-François Zygel.

They are assisted by concert teachers from the Rachmaninoff Conservatoire, Yulia Orlova, Alexandre Karpeev and Hugo Martin.

Targeted international piano competitions: Ferruccio-Busoni in Bolzano, Chopin in Warsaw, Queen Elisabeth of Belgium in Brussels, Leeds, etc.

But still...

Chamber music

Chamber music is offered as an option to instrumentalists, whether or not they are students at the Conservatoire. Ensembles are composed according to the level, repertoire and objectives of the instrumentalists.

Festival d'ensembleS

To introduce musicians to the idea of playing together from an early age, the Conservatoire has created an ensemble music festival open to pupils from all music schools. Teachers are invited to work with their students and have them play together (guitar, piano, balalaika, violin, cello, etc.) during the year, with a view to presenting a work during the festival, the second of which will be held in May 2025.

Courses and masterclasses

Courses and masterclasses in instruments and singing are offered throughout the year, primarily to students of the Rachmaninoff Conservatoire, but also to students from outside the Conservatoire. The calendar of courses and masterclasses can be consulted regularly on the school's news page on the website.
