Cross-disciplinary collaboration
We also collaborate closely with the Jazz/pop and Electronic music departments at the Academy. They regularly make use of strings in their projects, and as a classical string player, you have good opportunities for finding collaboration partners among the jazz/pop and electronic music students.
The pedagogical string programmes are executed in collaboration with music schools and Academy preparation courses throughout the region.
Freedom of choice
At the Academy, we focus on artistic citizenship and wish to bring artistic processes into play in our surroundings. Electives are offered for this purpose as part of all Bachelor and Master programmes. Other electives support the interdisciplinary collaboration, pedagogical work or allow for specialization within contemporary music and chamber music, to name a few.
Soloist assignment
Following an audition, you may be selected for soloist assignments with both symphony orchestras and chamber orchestras. The Academy’s concert halls give you ample opportunity for playing and preparing for concerts and auditions.
Teachers
All teachers are musicians with solid experience from soloist, chamber music, and orchestra work, nationally and internationally.
