Since 1921, the American Art Schools of Fontainebleau (EAAF) have welcomed young musicians from all over the world in order to transmit French culture and promote the influence of France. Consisting of the famous “American Conservatory” and a School of Fine Arts, the Academy of American Art Schools brings together a team of prestigious musicians recognized for their artistic and pedagogical talents.
The Château de Fontainebleau and the American Art Schools, under the artistic direction of cellist Diana Ligeti and architect Anthony Béchu, have made this summer academy a true festival dedicated to excellence, working to create and meet all audiences.
