Course content

Read the Vademecum.
In order for a Creative Project to be elevated to a Master's exam, the project must add significant value to the music. The project must always be characterized by an original and unique creative interpretation.

The format for the creative project is free. Students are encouraged to think beyond the traditional format of the recital or lecture-performance. Ideally new forms of concert experience are explored resulting in a performance that can find its way into the cultural landscape:
- In relation to your own artistic profile and an intended target audience, you come up with a concept and work it out into a realizable project.
- You also fulfill a double role:
o You play the leading role artistically: the integrated master's exam is after all an individual trajectory, linked to the research.
o You fulfil a leading organisational, business and/or production role and possibly direct fellow students and external collaborators. You are also allowed to involve others in your project in the Master's Exam.
