Aloïse Fiala

Following a year reading music in Hypokhagne (French Art’s class), I studied Philosophy at university until my Maîtrise (Master’s Degree).

After preparing for Teaching school, I decided to change topics.

I followed a one-year internship in Communications (within the French government Information Department, Service d'étude de l'opinion du Premier Ministre) when I finally chose to embark on music.

I landed an internship (another one) with the Aix en Provence festival, which convinced me that I had found my path at last.

I passed my DESS (French Post-Graduate Diploma) in Music Management at the Sorbonne, followed by an internship with IMG Artists Paris and then with the Arts Florissants (Baroque orchestra founded by William Christie).

Because there were no long term openings with them at the time, I went to work as Assignment Representative with the Adiam in Versailles.

Subsequently, I went back to the Arts Florissants to work short-term in broadcasting and sponsorship.

I then moved to London where I worked for a year with the European Union Baroque Orchestra (fascinating educational project: www.eubo.org.uk).

After this, I landed my current position at the University Faculty of Music.

I am in charge of artist residences, conferences and contemporary music as a whole, as well as communication.

This is a fascinating job.
