Grands Prix Sacem 2025, a former student among the winners

This Monday November 24, 2025, was the traditional evening of the Grands Prix Sacem, which puts the spotlight on all creators in the music industry.

Isabelle Soulard, multi-camera director

Among the winners of this 2025 edition is a former student of Valenciennes' DREAM training courses, Isabelle Soulard (DESS CAV, class of 1988), who walks away with the Grand Prix de l'auteur-réalisateur de l'audiovisuel. She succeeds Chris Macary and other big names such as Michel Gondry, Tristan Carné and Marion Sarraut.

Isabelle Soulard started out as head of the video department at the Opéra de Paris Bastille for 9 years before becoming a multi-camera live director of symphony concerts, opera and theater. A passionate director, she has been capturing the vitality of live performance for over twenty years. From the Philharmonie de Paris to Budapest's Müpa, she films music as an art in motion, a dialogue between stage and screen.

.

Congratulations to her, for this very fine prize, which rewards her 25-year career in live performance directing!
