Auditions and Interviews in France for all of Europe

We have a team from Berklee currently doing auditions and interviews (A&I) in Paris at the moment. A quick look at the schedule shows that over three days, students from over 20 countries will participate in this program. Our commitment to attracting outstanding artists and creators from around the world continues and we are thrilled, not only by the diversity of the students who come to A&I, but also by the top level commitment and ability they demonstrate. Some of the countries represented include:

France, Spain, Germany, Holland, Latvia, Poland, Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Romania, Hungary, Switzerland, Italy, Slovakia, Portugal, Reunion Island...and more.

As we continue to strive towards our vision for 2015 below, our week in Paris tells us that we're on the right track.

“That’s starting to be a trend,” Blanchard says with a laugh about the abundance of Berklee graduates. He points out that the selection of students is made through “blind auditions.” “I guess it’s a testament to what’s been happening at Berklee or that the word is out more there than at other schools.
