The Académie supérieure de musique of Strasbourg is situated in Strasbourg’s Cité de la musique et de la danse. The building is also home to the Conservatoire of Strasbourg, and the contemporary music festival Musica. Inaugurated in 2006, it is a landmark of a new cultural and commercial hub that includes libraries and archives, cinemas, and scientific and community spaces. Dedicated to the teaching and performance of the arts, the Cité de la musique et de la danse boasts a 500-seat auditorium that hosts major symphony orchestras, ballet and dance, and theatre productions.

The building also includes several other concert spaces of 50 to 150 seats, a full sized orchestra rehearsal stage, and over one hundred rooms for classes and personal practice. Thanks to its partnership with the Conservatoire de Strasbourg, students of the Académie benefit from all areas of this cultural institution: music rooms equipped with grand pianos, percussion, organs, and harpsichords, a library with over 50,000 items, instrument rental, specialised dance and theatre rehearsal spaces, and access to a vast and diverse concert season.

The Académie supérieure de musique of Strasbourg comprises ten music departments and offers more than forty music majors, including instruments that are rare even amongst French institutions, such as the accordion, ondes Martenot, and cimbalom.

(Exam sheets for each instrument available here.)
