Composition / Electroacoustic Composition (Concert Exam)

The Concert Exam is meant to enable graduates to meet the high artistic demands of national and international concert life as independent composers.

The programme only includes instruction in the main artistic subject and is based exclusively on the students' personal ideas, wishes and goals. The techniques and procedures necessary to express them are critically questioned and individually specified at the highest level.

Participation in selected group courses, in particular analysis of new music/electroacoustic music, plenum (with all composition students), is also optional.

The lecturers in the field of music are renowned musicians who perform in concert halls around the world. A close and co-operative exchange between students and teachers is of central importance in the field of music.
