Music school of the Three Rivers, in Bégard: 175 members and a financial balance yet to be found

The music school of 3 Rivières has been offering musical education since 1982 for individual and group vocal and instrumental practices. Its activities cover 36 municipalities, including Guingamp Paimpol Agglomération and LannionTrégor Communauté, centered around Bégard.

It held its general assembly on Tuesday night at the Forge hall in Bégard, under the presidency of Eva Corouge. She highlighted the association’s revitalization efforts in May 2025 to reinvigorate the organization in close collaboration with the team of instructors.

“While the musical year has brought some achievements (a stable number of students and a loyal teaching team), a dark point remains, that of the association’s debt,” stated Corouge. The board of directors and employees approved the use of a local support system for finances, along with meetings with financial partners (subsidies from local government entities, departmental council). Increases in dues and other cost-cutting measures will help bring the organization back into balance.

Hug Besco, coordinator, presented the activities’ assessment for 2024-2025 and the current year. Individual and group classes, workshops, rehearsals, a variety of practices are taught by the eleven employees (almost 4 full-time positions) to 175 members to date.

Like in 2025, the music school aims to continue its partnerships, particularly with the MJC, for the music festival in the abbey garden. They also hope to have new premises, perhaps within the future Brittany music center.
