The Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse in Paris has announced the death of its president, Rémy Pflimlin.

Appointed head of France Télévisions by Nicolas Sarkozy, he stood down last year after protracted battles with the Hollande regime, moving to the less heated environment of the conservatoire.

Rémy Pflimlin was passionate about contemporary music, president of the Musica festival from 2001.
