The Royal Danish Academy of Music is the oldest music academy in Denmark. It is
a dynamic and vibrant artistic educational institution, centred on teaching,
which counts among its principal tasks the aim of continuing to develop
classical music and enhance its relevance on an ongoing basis, as a central part
of contemporary musical and cultural life.
The Academy has a broad
musical and stylistic span, ranging from period music to classical-romantic, as
well as more recent and new contemporary music, including the compositional
music of tomorrow. The majority of the Academy's courses are aimed at
performance at the highest level, and many also include pedagogical training
with a view to professional music teaching. Besides the purely instrumentalist
and vocalist programmes, specialised courses are also available within the
fields of music teaching, composition, conducting and church music, as well as
recording direction. In recent years, a broad range of co-operation and
practical training agreements have intensified links with the labour market and
have contributed to good employment statistics for our graduates.
The
Academy's fundamental artistic activities find expression in a comprehensive and
richly varied range of concerts, as well as high-profile projects within
educational and artistic developmental work and research. A wide network of
international contacts and partners rounds off the picture created by the
Academy's many committed teachers and other staff and above all, by the large
body of talented students who form the heart of it all.
Since the summer
of 2008, the Royal Danish Academy of Music has been housed in outstanding
architectural surroundings at Rosenørns Allé 22. During the previous year, the
beautiful and atmospheric buildings designed by the architect Vilhelm Lauritzen
underwent a thoroughgoing renovation and conversion which transformed them from
a radio centre into a modern academy of music. The result is a complex of top
international quality, with plenty of room for teaching and rehearsal, as well
as offering unique concert and production possibilities.
We look forward
to your application for admission. |
