2025 CONDUCTOR MENTORSHIP
Share
23 JUNE — JULY 8, 2025
Mentorship open to a mid-career woman conductor intending to become opera conductor.
Following the success of the first editions of the Conductor's Mentorship in 2021, 2023 and 2024, the Académie du Festival d'Aix renews in 2025 the invitation to mid-career conductors wishing to perfect their skills in opera conducting. Conceived as a tool to promote and enhance the status of artists working towards a greater representation of women in the opera world, this mentorship program takes advantage of all the opportunities that an international festival such as Aix-en-Provence can offer. It is both a technical and artistic development program and a professional springboard.
The invited artist will benefit from a personalized accompaniment program with the following common content:
- Artistic, technical and professional advice from artists programmed at the Festival
- Immersion in the work sessions of singers and opera rehearsals
- Assistance in consolidating a professional network
- Conducting a concert as part of the Festival d'Aix
During its stay, the conductor is invited to work alongside the singers and pianists in the Vocal Residency of the Académie.
Adami, a long-time partner of the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence, once again marks its commitment to the service of performers by accompanying the mentoring program for conductors developed by the Festival Academy since 2021. Adami is thus participating in the training, promotion and career development of a new generation of women conductors.
