I am beyond grateful to have been selected by the Festival and Académie d'Aix-en-Provence and supported again by the Creative Europe program of the European Union to collaborate with the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence as its first conductor in-Residence, and as member of the Atelier des Créatrices d’Opéra of the Académie du Festival d’Aix-en Provence, I got to know Katie Mitchel who kept supporting me long after the residency, Emilie Delorme who recently became the director of the CNSMDP, I got to know Pascal Dusapin, Andrea Breth and Esa-Pekka Salonen.
It was a great honor to jump in as assistant to Esa-Pekka Salonen during the rehearsals of the Kurt Weill's Mahagonny.
