The courses will be taught by the teams at the Paris Philharmonie, with students exposed to various areas of work, including concert production, programming, communication, and sponsorship. Additionally, the school will cover the five main fields of the Philharmonie (orchestral, museum, editorial, entertainment, and educational) and provide students with the opportunity to interact with the 500 professions involved in the production of concerts, performances, and festivals.

The application process will begin on April 1, open to applicants aged 20 to 26 with at least a bachelor’s degree.
