Students from the Académie Rainier III marked the end of the 2025-2026 year with a gala performance attended by Mélanie-Antoinette de Massy and senior municipal figures.
The Académie Rainier III brought its 2025-2026 academic year to a close on Wednesday 24 June with a gala concert showcasing the musical progress its students have made over the past twelve months. The event drew a notable audience, with Mélanie-Antoinette de Massy joining representatives of the Princely Government, local institutions and Deputy Mayor Karyn Ardisson Salopek in the auditorium.
The annual end-of-year gala serves as one of the academy's most significant public moments, giving students at every level a stage on which to perform before an audience that includes some of the Principality's most prominent figures. For Monaco families with children enrolled at the Académie Rainier III, evenings such as this one represent the clearest measure of a year's work and the school's continued role at the heart of the Principality's cultural life.
