Jean Sturm

Professionally speaking, Jean Sturm has always belonged to two worlds, as a scientist and as a musician in the service of choral music. Until 2011 he worked as a researcher at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). For much of the same time, until 2006, he was also director of the Allegro Vocal Ensemble in Strasbourg. He combined his knowledge of information sciences with his passion for choral music in the Musica project which became reality and went from strength to strength under his leadership. Jean is currently the volunteer executive director of Musica. His talents as an organizer were also highlighted when he first proposed and then became the linchpin of the Europa Cantat 9 festival, which welcomed 4,300 choral musicians from thirty-three countries to Strasbourg in 1985, the European Year of Music. In 2000, Jean Sturm received an award from Fondation Alsace for the Musica project. Email: sturm@musicanet.org
