Conservatoire Advent Calendar

From 1 to 23 December, the Conservatoire is offering a 100% cultural Advent calendar. Each day, a 15-20 minute artistic performance will take place at different venues around the city. Pupils from the music, dance and drama classes will be performing in places such as the town's residential homes, social and cultural centres, "restos du coeur", hospitals, schools, the town's cultural venues, the stadium, the Gaillarde hall, the gourmet market, etc. Some of these events are not really open to the public, but are designed as a gift to an audience that they will be meeting in "their" venue. But others are held in public places that are open to all, and you can find them in thediary as the week progresses.
