The Pierre Cochereau Regional Conservatory of the City of Nice

Founded in 1916 by pianist Adeline Bailet, the Pierre Cochereau Regional Conservatory of Nice celebrated its centennial in 2015. Led by Thierry Muller since 2016, the institution—located in the stunning, newly constructed building on Avenue Brancolar—is now recognized for the excellence of its artistic education in Music, Dance, and Theater, placing it among the leading conservatories in France. Each year, it trains a large number of soloists, dancers, and actors who are nationally—and even internationally—known and recognized. It has also developed a bachelor’s degree program in partnership with the Université Côte d’Azur, of which it is now a member. It enriches the artistic life of its region and city through collaborations with other prestigious regional arts institutions and higher education institutions. It also extends its influence abroad, continuing to forge close ties and share talent and expertise with other higher education institutions.
