Composition

Over the past century in classical music, there has been a separation between composer and musician, creator and performer. At the same time, in recent years there has been a movement within the performance arts in which the creator is also a performer, concept developer and researcher.

The Bachelor Composition aims to be at the forefront of these new interdisciplinary developments. In this programme, we look first and foremost at you as a maker and performer. Whether you are a composer and/or performer who wants to make concert-, theater-, or film-music, or work together in multidisciplinary projects: together we will find a path that suits you and in which you can develop your dreams and talents.
