About ...
“The school and the temple of rue Saint-Jacques”, “the truant school of the conservatory”, “the beaver school”, “the second chance school”, “the buzzing hive”, “Jurassik Schola”, or more familiarly and universally: “the Schola”.
History of a will first and of a single man: in 1890, Charles BORDES (1863-1909), its founder, laid the foundations of a company and in 1894 brought together a few friends, benefactors and shareholders to create the company “Schola Cantorum”.
Among the first collaborators with whom he surrounded himself were two musicians whose fame would support his project: Alexandre GUILMANT (1837-1911) and Vincent D’INDY (1851-1931). The school officially opened its doors on October 15, 1896, rue Stanislas in the Montparnasse district.
