Introduction

Aware of how lucky he was to have made certain decisive encounters, Philippe Jaroussky wished to to offer the same opportunities to young people.

He thus founded a music academy to share his experience and his passion for classical music, a recognised vector of social and professional integration, with children and young adults.

The Académie Musicale Philippe Jaroussky is a non-profit organisation. It pursues three main objectives:

To encourage and democratize the discovery of classical music for wider or ‘non-traditional’ audiences and give young children access to instrumental practice
To promote the professionalisation of young talents
To create links between professionals and amateurs, between artistic disciplines and between the general public and regional cultural actors.

The Académie launched its program of actions in September 2017, as part of the opening of the music complex La Seine Musicale on the Seguin island, in the town of Boulogne-Billancourt, near Paris.

The Young Apprentices
program

This program seeks to boost fulfilment, social ties and cultural openness among children, through the discovery of classical music and the practice of an instrument, in a challenging and collective spirit.

The Young Talents
program

We support young musicians at the beginning of their career in the world of classical music by promoting artistic encounters.

The Off-site
program

Our off-site actions aim to open classical music to a large public, especially those who are farthest away from it, through adapted cultural actions.

Music at the heart of a three-pillar project...

A human and solidarity project

The Académie helps in the discovery of classical music and offers free access to instrumental playing for children who are financially and culturally distanced from it.

A professional project of excellence

We accompany young musicians towards their professionalisation and provide them with experience and employability.

Creating ties

We promote exchanges between amateurs and professionals, between artistic disciplines, and between the public and cultural actors of the region.

The Académie and La Seine Musicale share the same vision – we support access to culture for all and excellence for everyone.
