Conservatorium Maastricht is an international conservatoire, firmly rooted in the region while connecting to all parts of the world. We believe in 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. We believe in the strength of our community, consisting of students, teachers, and the professional field. Teamwork is essential.
We offer a study program that prepares our students for a career in the ever-changing professional field. It enables students to make the most of their talents. 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 a moving musician.
