Conservatorium Maastricht
Conservatorium Maastricht is an international conservatoire, firmly rooted in the region, while connecting to all parts of the world. We act on the basis of collectivity, in the will to challenge each other and create together. To move and add value, in and with music.
We empower the moving musician to reach their own ambitions within diverse musical fields. To touch, move and excite while doing this. We bring the best out of the students through our passion for development. Our community consisting of students, teachers and the professional field are connected. Teamwork is essential, and the best education also comes from a team effort.
We offer a study programme that prepares our students for a career in the ever changing professional field. This is achieved through one to one artistic development, active interplay, theoretical integration, professional practice experience, cross departmental activities, electives, and developing entrepreneurial and research skills. Guided by our teams, the students shape their own study path, and are guided throughout their journey becoming their version of a moving musician.
