SCHOLA CANTORUM
:''This article is about the Parisian musical institute. For the medieval papal choir, see Schola cantorum''.The Schola Cantorum of Caracas is a separate organization, a chorus based in Venezuela.
'La Schola Cantorum' is a private music school in Paris. It was founded in 1894 by Charles Bordes, Alexandre Guilmant and Vincent d'Indy as an alternative to the Paris Conservatoire. Its most notable alumni include Guillermo Uribe, Seth Bingham, Alexander Steinert, Joaquin Nin, Joaquin Nin-Culmell, and Erik Satie.
In the later half of the 19th century, the Paris Conservatoire's curriculum centered increasingly on opera such that ''vocalist'' had become synonymous with ''opera singer'', and ''composer'' with ''operatic composer''. Composers who wrote primarily instrumental music, such as D'Indy's teacher César Franck, were less accepted by the Paris musical establishment.
La Schola was founded in 1894 and opened on 15 October 1896 as an alternative to the Conservatoire. Alexandre Guilmant, an organist at the Paris Conservatoire, was the director of the school before D'Indy took over. D'Indy set the curriculum and built the early foundations for the school's success. The school's program initiated a revival of interest in Gregorian chant and the music of the 16th and 17th centuries. Since 1900 it has been located in a converted convent in the ''Quartier Latin''.
