“I am very grateful for the lessons and performance opportunity during the academy. The professors teach and analyze the repertoire in different approaches and their opinions were very constructive and fruitful.
There are also JAM sessions and Gala concert which we have the opportunity to play various repertoires with our colleagues and professors. All these performing activities encourages us to share our own musical intentions and to exchange ideas with others. It was amazing and unforgettable experience.
Besides the wonderful music making, we always hang out and have dinner together, therefore everyone in the academy gets to know everyone so well. It’s a family!”

“The Soloist Academy is a wonderful playground to explore your Intuition and your sense of sharing music with great musicians, you can have a taste of freedom there!”

“J’ai participé à la Soloist Academy à deux reprises, notamment lors de sa toute première édition, et cela a été une expérience formidable. Sur un plan instrumental, j’ai eu l’occasion de beaucoup progresser auprès des différents clarinettistes ainsi que des professeurs mais il me semble que c’est le facteur humain qui a rendu ces expériences tout à fait particulières. Il se dégage de ces musiciens une envie tellement forte de réunir autour de la musique ainsi qu’une chaleur et tout à fait un croyable. Les jam sessions (concerts de musique classique improvisés) représentent bien cet esprit de spontanéité et de bienveillance, et je peux être fier de compter bon nombre des musiciens ayant participé à la Soloist Acamedy comme des amis désormais.“
Arthur Stockel, -
“…I am really amazed. How to be loose and free, taking expression to a new place and eventually applying that to your instrument…
I remember when you had a crazy, wild dream to create the “Soloist Academy”. And today it is a reality and, I think, beyond what you could have ever imagined. Hats off!!!!! Truly wonderful accomplishment.”

“Mon cher Dimitri, Je te remercie pour cette vidéo très inspirante !
Tes passerelles entre la musique et le mouvement corporel sont toujours excellentes.
Une vraie libération, bravo !”Pascal Moraguès,
