LAUREATE PROGRAMME

|
ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
The laureate programme addresses both national and international graduates in music.
It allows young musicians to conduct individual practice-oriented research into subjects related to their professional activities. Within a flexible frame the programme allows students to work out a study project on a relatively short term basis.
The programme, aimed at the personal development of future laureates, is tailor-made and caters to the students´ artistic choices and personal background. The Orpheus Institute welcomes all musical styles and trends.
Prominent mentors assist future laureates throughout their entire curriculum, preparing them for the "Laureate of the Orpheus Institute" title.
