Home Young talents Reviews Charles Kieny
Charles, composer and accordionist, was a guest of the Academy in 2015 for the masterclass with Richard Galliano, and in 2018 for a masterclass with Vincent Peirani

The two masterclasses in which I took part were important highlights in my studies of my instrument, as well as of music in general. I was lucky to share with two different professors, as well as other students, precious moments of sharing, much more so than in a normal study environment. The Academy of Villecroze is a countryside treasure of greenery and stone, where time stands still, only the music is important, and the conditions are perfect to spend an instructive and unforgettable stay. 

I will never be able to that Anne Postel-Vinay and the whole team at the Academy, not only for my time at Villecroze but also for making available a music salon in the center of Paris, and for for the opportunity to work as an arranger for the Maîtrise de Radio France for their "Musique Prim" project, in collaboration with the Education Nationale. 

From the bottom of my heart, thank you! I hope our paths cross many more times!
