EMA
School of Contemporary Music
Réunion's training center for careers in the live music industry.
EMA – École des Musiques Actuelles, founded in 2012 in Réunion, is a higher education institution for the arts dedicated to careers in music and the performing arts. Located in Saint-Leu, the school offers vocational training programs for the artists and technicians of tomorrow, closely aligned with the cultural realities of this overseas territory and the challenges of contemporary creation. It places individualized support, interdisciplinarity, and professional development at the heart of its educational mission.
"Our project goes beyond borders: it's part of an inter-regional and inter-island dynamic, weaving links with other educational, cultural and professional structures in the Indian Ocean. We believe in the power of the collective, in the richness of artistic exchanges, and in the importance of training artists who are rooted in their own identity yet open to the world beyond. Whether it's your first contact with music, or you're looking to perfect or professionalize your sound, stage or teaching skills, our team will accompany you with rigor, kindness and passion. Welcome to a place where music becomes a project of life, territory and transmission."
