Guitar
The Academy enjoys a vibrant guitar environment featuring chamber music, recitals, and collaboration projects with professional ensembles and orchestras. You will be playing chamber music in a rich and professionally challenging study environment featuring all instruments.
We regularly arrange master classes with guest teachers such as Marco Socias, Alex Garrobé, Roberto Aussel or Timo Korhonen.
In recent years, several current and former Academy guitar students have participated in international competitions and festivals, winning more than 25 prizes between them.

Cross-disciplinary collaboration
We collaborate closely with the Jazz/pop and Electronic music departments at the Academy who regularly make use of classical musicians in their projects. As a classical musician, you also have good opportunities for finding collaboration partners yourself among the jazz/pop and electronic music students.
The pedagogical programmes are executed in collaboration with music schools and Academy preparation courses throughout the region.
Soloist assignments
Following an audition, you may be selected for soloist assignments with both symphony orchestras and chamber orchestras. The Academy’s great concert halls give you ample opportunity for playing and preparing for concerts and auditions.
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.
