Master Podium and Orchestra
Art at the highest level requires environments that both nurture and challenge. In the Master’s Program in Podium and Orchestra, you will refine the skills you acquired in your bachelor’s program to prepare for a career as a soloist, in an orchestra, choir, or other ensembles.
Great careers begin with a decision:
Our profiles sharpen yours
Excellent artistic support remains the focus of the ‘Artistic Core Area’. It comprises 60 ECTS credits in the Master's programme, i.e. half of the total credits. Here you can develop your skills in individual lessons in your main artistic subject and in supplementary courses such as class lessons, subject-specific specialisation, orchestra or ensemble, and mature into an artistic personality.
Your profile and project, which can be selected from a wide variety of options, give you creative freedom to set your own personal priorities.
Design your studies according to your own interests
In Trossingen, there are various profiles and projects to choose from. This allows you to tailor your studies to your interests.
