Degree Programmes

Degree programme in a nutshell

Chamber Music is a new follow-up Master’s study programme, offered by the Faculty of Fine Arts and Music from the academic year 2021/22. The programme is suitable for Bachelor’s-level music graduates who wish to specialise in chamber music. While the students of Chamber Music continue to develop their skills as solo performers, the majority of practical music tuition is focused on playing in a chamber ensemble. The course is concluded by a state examination. Graduates receive the title “MgA.”

Applicants may be admitted as part of a pre-existing chamber ensemble or as individuals, who will be grouped into new ensembles after admission. Those who apply as individuals may take the talent test individually, following the requirements specified for the relevant instrument.

Those who apply as part of a pre-existing ensemble may take the talent test collectively, performing a programme of works for the relevant type of chamber ensemble.

What do we expect from you?

In order to be admitted, applicants must have successfully completed a Bachelor’s degree. Adequate level of musicianship and interest in chamber music are key prerequisites. Membership in a pre-existing chamber ensemble and practical experience with chamber music performance are welcome. Advanced ability to collaborate with other members of a chamber ensemble is expected.

Language requirements:
We recommend that you have reached the B1 English language level.

What will you learn?

Students of Chamber Music have the unique opportunity to develop their musicianship as part of a stable ensemble throughout the course of their studies, working under the supervision of first-rate artists/pedagogues with years of professional experience in chamber music performance. Students will gain stage experience in concerts organised by the Faculty and other collaborating professional institutions. On finishing the course, graduates will emerge as mature artists/ensembles capable of highly confident, original, and convincing interpretation of extensive and stylistically diverse repertoire of chamber music.
