Emilie Delorme à l’occasion des 30 ans du CNSMDP à la Villette : « On forme des artistes protéiformes »
A l’occasion des 30 ans de l’installation du Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris à la Cité de la Musique à La Villette, Emilie Delorme, sa directrice récemment nommée, était l’invitée de la Matinale de Jean-Baptiste Urbain.
Un anniversaire que l’institution célèbre en plein reconfinement à cause de la crise sanitaire et qui a dû s’adapter aux conditions exceptionnelles : en lieu et place des concerts et représentations publics, le CNSMDP a déployé les moyens numériques, à travers plusieurs jours de diffusions des captations des concerts et des débats avec les professionnels et partenaires du monde musical. « C’est une grande déception de ne pas pouvoir présenter nos artistes sur scène, mais on a essayé d’y répondre par la création audiovisuelle et du débat. On a capté un certain nombre d’événements visant à montrer nos jeunes artistes sur scène, les danseurs, les compositeurs, les interprètes. […] C’était important pour moi qu’il y ait du débat, parce qu’en arrivant à la tête d’une institution la première chose que l’on fait c’est de réfléchir à son avenir collectivement, » disait la directrice au micro de Jean-Baptiste Urbain.
Emilie Delorme on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the CNSMDP at La Villette: “We train protean artists”
On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris at the Cité de la Musique in La Villette, Emilie Delorme, its recently appointed director, was the guest of Jean-Baptiste Urbain’s Matinale.
An anniversary that the institution is celebrating in the midst of a reconfinement due to the health crisis and which has had to adapt to exceptional conditions: instead of concerts and public performances, the CNSMDP has deployed digital means, through several days of broadcasting recordings of the concerts and debates with professionals and partners from the music world. “It is a great disappointment not to be able to present our artists on stage, but we have tried to respond to this with audiovisual creation and debate. We have captured a number of events aimed at showing our young artists on stage, the dancers, composers and performers. …] It was important for me that there was debate, because when you become the head of an institution, the first thing you do is to think about its future collectively,” said the director, speaking with Jean-Baptiste Urbain.
