The Classe Libre was established in 1978 to offer two years of tuition-free training to a select group of around twenty students each year. Admission is highly competitive, with candidates selected through a three-stage audition process.
Conducted in French, the competition also offers international applicants the opportunity to present an additional audition piece in their native language alongside the required programme, allowing them to fully showcase their range and individuality to the panel.
