Biography

Brigitte François-Sappey studied music at the Conservatoire de Paris where she won first prizes of music history, musical analysis, musical esthetics, musicology, and at the École normale de musique de Paris where she graduated for piano teaching.

At the same time, she pursued graduate studies in history at the Paris IV University. After obtaining a bachelor's and master's degrees, she is a Ph.D. student in humanities and social sciences, under the direction of Norbert Dufourcq.

A professor of music history at the Conservatoire de Paris from 1973, she created the class of music culture in 1992, of which she is now an honorary professor. She also founded the classes of art and civilization and history of music at the Conservatoire de Lyon (1979-1982) and musical analysis at the Conservatoire Rameau of the 6th arrondissement of Paris (1976–1979). She has been a visiting professor at the University of Lisbon (1978), the summer university of Versailles (1979–1982) and at the University of Paris III: Sorbonne Nouvelle (2003–2009).

She is a member of numerous juries in superior conservatories, the École normale supérieure and several universities, including Paris-Sorbonne.

A producer of concerts and programs at Radio France (1991–1997), she has since been invited at France Musique, France Culture, as well as Radio Suisse Romande.

She regularly participates in scientific conferences and gives numerous lectures in very different places (universities, La Folle Journée of Nantes etc.).
