Pedagogical team

The pôle Aliénor (Poitiers,Tours) and the PESMD Bordeaux (higher education institution in music and dance) are partnering to create an innovative educational offer aimed at strengthening the professional integration of future performing artists and educators / teachers. Starting from the 2025/2026 academic year, students will benefit from teaching provided by teams of artist-teachers from both institutions, supported by ambitious and multidisciplinary artistic projects.

This collaboration will also allow future graduates to take advantage of the artistic partnerships (opera companies, orchestras, festivals, professional ensembles, national theatres, Scenes of Actual Music, etc.) and educational alliances (higher education institutions, conservatories, music schools, etc.) of both institutions, thereby expanding their networks in a broader region. Within the joint offer, reinforced educational team will operate during 2025/2026 academic year.
