Académie Ravel

We are deligthed to present the 2025 session of the Académie Ravel.

With more than 50 years of history, the Académie Ravel is committed to keeping alive the legacy of Maurice Ravel and his contemporaries, and is part of a long line of teaching that has come to be known as the French school.

The 2025 session builds on the momentum of recent years. This years the teaching team is made from historical members and new musical figures, combining French excellence with an international outlook. Pairs of teachers with complementary approaches have been formed, sometimes illustrating a lineage between master and pupil, as for the cello and piano classes, where Sol Gabetta and I will be joined by our former mentors: Ivan Monighetti and Jean-François Heisser.

The Académie Ravel is also expanding with the opening of two new classes: flute and clarinet. Nicolas Baldeyrou and Sophie Cherrier, two great French soloists, will open up new opportunities in woodwinds. Read more
