Our organization

Studying at the Royal Conservatoire (KC) means studying at the oldest conservatoire in the Netherlands, where experimentation and innovation go hand in hand with tradition and craftsmanship. It is an inspiring learning environment where international top musicians and dancers teach. Education and research focus on creating, recreating, and performing. This takes place both in-house and externally, with other organisations, institutions, and professionals. The learning environment and professional music and dance practice are continuously intertwined. The programmes are based on a strong three-pillar foundation of education, research, and production. These elements form the DNA of the institution.

The Royal Conservatoire, together with the Royal Academy of Art, forms the University of the Arts The Hague. They offer HBO bachelor’s and master’s education, various preparatory courses, and, in collaboration with Leiden University, elective courses and a PhD programme. The Royal Conservatoire is housed in the new cultural center Amare, which opened its doors in September 2021. Since 2024, the University has been part of the European Universities Alliance IN.TUNE - Innovative Universities in Music & Arts in Europe (

www.intune-alliance.eu
).
At the Royal Conservatoire, we endeavour to prepare musicians and dancers as well as possible for their future professional career. In light of changes in professional practice and various recent developments, preparation for professional practice, active collaboration with and integration in the profession and the development of entrepreneurial skills are more important than ever. Students at our institution are prepared in various ways for the constantly changing national and international professional practice. One of the basic principles of our education is to train musicians and dancers to the highest possible artistic standard and so enable them to compete on the international labour market. We also understand how important it is for students to come into contact with professional situations during their studies through intensive collaborations with professional partners. We attach great value to the development of entrepreneurship and professional skills, and continuously evaluate whether those elements are properly integrated into the curriculum. We also invite the students themselves to actively think about their future careers and to demonstrate their ability to function as ‘reflective practitioners’ in the profession.

New Audiences and Innovative Practice (NAIP) is a 2-year master programme designed for enterprising musicians who reach out to new audiences and innovate the performance practice of music through experimentation and research. During the programme, students prepare for a future musical career by developing a striking portfolio.
