To wrap-up orientation, we came together around a super buffet catered by Les Cuistots Migrateurs. Students are now armed with everything they will need for their first classes next week, as well as how to begin building their own Parisian routines. Tomorrow, the spring cohort is off to Provins on a day trip !
Every semester, we take a day trip at the end of orientation. It's a perfect way for students to spend time together outside of CUPA and explore a nearby French town or city. This semester we visited Provins, where we went on a guided tour of the medieval city. Provins has an incredible history as […]
Monument tardif de Beethoven, l'imposante Missa solemnis est sans doute la partition qui coûta le plus d'efforts au "grand sourd" : travail opiniâtre et passionné, pour une oeuvre qui, au-delà de son sens liturgique, est un hymne de paix universel. Composée entre 1818 et 1823, la Missa solemnis appartient au corpus retreint des oeuvres du "dernier Beethoven", […]

Entre Maria Muñoz et Bach, un grand classique qui se transforme en histoire de famille ! Une véritable osmose lie depuis vingt ans María Muñoz au Clavier bien tempéré de Johann Sebastian Bach. La chorégraphe fait plus qu'interpréter la musique, elle EST musique, sublimant préludes et fugues, dans la vivacité et la profondeur de son geste […]
Eugène Onéguine raconte une histoire d'amour qui ne fonctionne pas". Ainsi, Ralph Fiennes résume-t-il la trame de l'opéra de Piotr Ilyitch Tchaïkovski, inspiré de l'oeuvre de Pouchkine. Jeune dandy blasé, Onéguine enflamme au premier coup d'oeil la timide Tatiana. Surmontant sa réserve, elle lui écrit une lettre d'amour passionnée. Las ! il lui oppose un […]
For our semester weekend trip, we traveled to Colmar and Strasbourg. In Colmar, a guide accompanied us around town and showed us the beautiful Alsatian architecture rooted in French and German history. After a full afternoon, we took the train to Strasbourg and enjoyed the sunset before sharing a typical meal from the region: choucroute […]
Students had the opportunity to visit Martin Parr's exhibit "Global Warming" at the Jeu de Paume.
Un regard décalé sur la rencontre romantique, pour dire le caractère universel de la sensualité. On aime Sylvain Riéjou pour son humour, sa douceur, sa délicatesse, son autodérision.Adolescent, il savourait Dirty Dancing et autres films populaires où, invariablement, les hommes séduisent les femmes. À travers eux, il commença à sentir que sa propre nature amoureuse ne […]
Du souvenir d'un festival libre et cosmopolite à un acte transculturel et hypnotique. Shiraz, ville de parfums et de soleil. Et, dans les années 1970, lieu d'un Festival des arts ouvert à l'avant-garde. Le chorégraphe Armin Hokmi s'inspire de ce rendez-vous entre les continents pour inventer une danse, à la fois contemporaine, personnelle et intimiste. […]
Encadré par la précision quasi-picturale de Strauss et le souffle exaltant de Sibelius, le diabolique Deuxième Concerto de Bartók crépite sous l'archet de Renaud Capuçon ! Inspiré de poèmes inachevés de […]
Every semester we have an apéro where we invite CUPA students, CUPA alum, friends of students, host siblings, interns, and French students. We play music and taste various cheese, charcuterie, […]
