Conservatoire de musique neuchâtelois

Music for everyone!

The CMNE operates throughout the canton and offers music lessons to Neuchâtel residents aged 3 to 99. Its primary mission is to provide amateur and pre-professional music education, but also to develop general musical culture in the canton, in accordance with Article 2 of the Law on the Neuchâtel Conservatory of Music (LCMN).

Every year, the CMNE offers more than 200 class auditions and more than 100 performances, ranging from outdoor orchestra concerts to choir accompaniment and entertainment at private or political ceremonies. The CMNE's music education department is responsible for promoting music in schools and supporting teachers in their teaching.

The CMNE is open to the entire population, in line with its motto "Music for all!". In recent years, it has launched numerous activities aimed at people with disabilities and senior citizens.
