Origin and history

The École normale de musique de Paris - Alfred Cortot (ENMP) was founded in 1919 by pianist Alfred Cortot and Auguste Mangeot, musical critic. Their objective, in a post-First World War context, is to promote the French repertoire in the face of German influence, by welcoming foreign students often excluded from the Conservatoire. From the beginning, the school offers a double curriculum (concert and teaching) including chamber music, orchestra direction, composition, and pedagogy, with renowned teachers such as Nadia Boulanger, Pablo Casals or Igor Stravinsky.

Originally set up on Rue Jouffroy, the school moved in 1927 to a mansion on Boulevard Malesherbes, offered by the Marquise de Maleissye. This Belle Époque style building, built in 1881 by Léopold Cochet, was completed in 1929 by the Cortot Hall, designed by Auguste Perret. This 400-seat room, in reinforced concrete decorated with gold, is praised for its acoustics and innovative architecture. It hosts contemporary creations and private concerts organized by Cortot until 1961.

Recognized by the Ministries of Public Education and Fine Arts in 1927, the school remained a private institution. Its facades, roofs and interior decorations (living rooms, chapel, staircase) were protected as historical monuments in 1987, followed by the Cortot Hall in 1999. Today, ENMP trains 800 students per year in all classical disciplines, with professional cycles validated by diplomas of execution or teaching. His legacy includes major figures of 20th century music.

The Cortot room, nicknamed "the cabinet" for its intimacy, marked the musical history by welcoming creations such as the Symphony for a single man by Pierre Schaeffer (1950). The building, owned by a private company, combines architectural heritage (classified facades, Belle Époque decors) and technical innovation (obvious concrete structure). The school, led today by Murielle Hurel-Mezghrani, perpetuates Cortot's vision of forming "complete musicians", combining virtuosity and deep musical culture.
