Another name for the Dijon Conservatory is the Baroque composer "Jean-Philippe Rameau" Conservatory.Dijon has a connection to the Rameau family, as Rameau's father was an organist at Dijon Cathedral and later he himself held the same post.Located in a town full of music culture, the school is an old school with a history dating back to 1793, and started full-scale music education in 1868.
