« For a Art et Essai (Arthouse) Music »
The means of distribution and communication that have developed at an accelerated pace over the last five years have inevitably had major consequences for the music sector and its industry, as well as for all other cultural sectors. In a period also marked by an unprecedented health crisis, they have been accompanied by societal mutations leading to changes in the supply of and demand for cultural products. At the same time, France’s public cultural policies have been equipped with new tools, such as the Centre National de la Musique, and a “streaming tax”, which will enable the Centre to build up sustainable resources from contributions made by the entire music sector, and in particular, newly, by the music streaming industry. Moreover, creative music has so far paid a heavy price in recent crises, and while its inventiveness has not been outdone, its economic structure, as well as its ability to permeate audiences, has suffered as a result. In light of these new opportunities, however, and following the example of cinema, it may be time to try and define “art music” and, with it, the means to support it.- Jean-Philippe Thiellay – CNM President
- Dominique Muller – DGCA Music Delegate
- Lionel Bertinet – Director of the cinema department of CNC
- David Obadia – AFCAE General Delegate
- Pierre-Alexandre Gauthier – Inouïe Distribution
- Moderation : Marie Hédin-Christophe – La Lettre du Musicien
- Concert : What’s New Orchestra (Conservatoire de Nantes’s big band) from 8pm to 9.15pm at La Soufflerie (Rezé)
→ Tickets - Concert : Moger Orchestra from 9.15pm to 10.30pm at La Soufflerie (Rezé)
→ Tickets - Jam Session at the bar Chez Maurice from 11pm : After the concert, meet up at the Chez Maurice bar – 14 Cours Sully, Nantes – to continue the evening. Bring your instruments!
Thursday 14 November 2024 :
- Concert Think Big! : Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp from 8pm to 10pm at La Soufflerie (Rezé)

THE HIGHLIGHT’S LOCATIONS
PANNONICA
Opened in autumn 1994 by the Nantes Jazz Action association, Pannonica is Nantes’ jazz and improvised music scene. It is committed to discovery and emergence, which contribute to its international reputation.
Celebrate the Pannonica’s 30th anniversary at the Rentrée Grands Formats!
LA SOUFFLERIE
La Soufflerie déploie une programmation pluridisciplinaire dans trois salles à Rezé : l’Auditorium (274 places assises), le Théâtre (450 places assises) et la Barakason
(411 places debout), mais également dans l’espace public et autres lieux non dédiés.
Jazz, musique baroque, contemporaine et actuelle côtoient la danse, le cirque et le théâtre, dans un projet qui questionne l’articulation entre art, culture et société. Lieu de création, de diffusion et d’action culturelle, la Soufflerie accueille l’ensemble des publics et va à la rencontre du territoire et de ses habitant·es à travers différents espaces de collaborations.
THE CONSERVATOIRE DE NANTES
The Conservatoire de Nantes is an establishment of the City of Nantes, specializing in the teaching of music, dance and drama. It is classified as a “Conservatoire à rayonnement régional” (CRR) and welcomes some 1,800 students, mainly from the Pays de la Loire and Brittany regions, but also from all over France. In line with the main thrusts of the City of Nantes’ cultural policy, the Conservatoire pursues a dynamic of openness to new audiences, pedagogical innovation, creation and local, national and international influence.
THE JAZZ DEPARTMENT OF THE CONSERVATOIRE DE NANTES
The jazz department offers training from discovery to the Cycle préparatoire à l’enseignement supérieur (C.P.E.S). Collective practice is the central element, around which scholarly disciplines and individual improvisation classes are built. Jazz practice is open to all instrumentalists and singers.
