Master of Music - Master - Zwolle

Why the Master of Music?

Tradition is your material, and the future is your playground.

In Zwolle, you will join a master’s programme that breathes new meaning into tradition. You will train as a performer and curator with a keen awareness of audience, location and time. You will work with the close-knit community at the Academy of Music, with strong links to the regional artistic scene, from ensembles and venues to festivals.

In labs and residencies, you will develop your work and present it in real-world contexts, with artistic research woven into your creative process. Through personal coaching and a flexible study route, you will refine your artistic signature and design performing formats that respond to today’s contexts, for concert halls and festivals as well as educational and community programmes. 


In brief: 

  • Focus on both performance and curation – context-driven work and new audiences
  • Weekly lab environment with residencies and public performances
  • Research embedded into artistic practice – more than just academic papers
  • Personal coaching and a flexible, goal-oriented study route
