Quick Facts:
We offer the opportunity to follow an explorative project through the entire programme, beginning already with your application where you submit a description of your idea.

You will receive support from professors at our department as well as other departments at the Academy of Music and Drama, such as Contemporary Performative Arts, Improvisation, World Music, Opera, and Music and Sound Production, to suit your specific ongoing music exploration.
The programme is characterized by an interdisciplinary environment through interaction with fellow students and visiting lecturers, and we have close links to the research environment at the institution, faculty, and university. Our main teachers are Malin Bång, Staffan Mossenmark and Palle Dahlstedt. Our visiting lecturers during recent years include Juliana Hodkinson, Stefan Prins, Anna Kubelik and Chaya Czernowin among others. You will have the opportunity to be a part of ongoing collaborations with established musicians and ensembles such as Mimitabu, Gageego, Curious Chamber Players, Musica Vitae string orchestra, and Norrköping Symphony Orchestra. We collaborate with venues and institutions such as Atalante, 3:e våningen and Cinnober.
