Childhood and education

Delorme was born in Lyon.[2] She studied at one of the Mines engineering schools, worked in finance for three years, and studied cultural institution management.[2]

Aix-en-Provence Festival

Delorme participated in the Aix-en-Provence Festival in 2000 and the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels in 2003, returning to the Aix-en-Provence Festival in 2008. She became the director of the Aix-en-Provence Festival in 2009.[2]

Conservatoire de Paris

On 14 December 2019, Delorme was appointed as the first woman director of the Conservatoire de Paris[3] since its creation in 1795 and the first non-musician director after the founder in 1795.[4] Le Point expressed concerns that Delorme would promote "decolonial ideology" and intersectional feminism.[4] Le Monde described Delorme as strongly promoting gender equality (French: parité) and cultural diversity (French: diversité), and stated that the initial rumours of Delorme's nomination led to defensive reactions (French: une levée de boucliers) from media including Le Point.[3] Delorme's appointment is for three years starting from 1 January 2020.[1]
