Conservatory Advent Calendar

Each day from December 1 to 23, the Conservatory offers an artistic performance of 15 to 20 minutes in a different location in the city.

You will be able to find students from music, dance and theater classes who will perform in places such as the City's housing centers, socio-cultural centers, Restos du coeur, the Hospital, educational establishments, cultural places of the city, the stadium, the Halle Gaillarde, the Christmas market. Most of the interventions are thought of as a gift offered to an audience that we will meet in “their” place. The others are offered in public places open to all. This year, the Municipal Art School will participate in the Conservatory's Advent Calendar on a few dates by offering student productions.
