March 19, 2010

The Royal Danish Academy of Music is the oldest music academy in Denmark and offers a broad musical and stylistic repertoire, ranging from period music to classical-romantic, as well as more recent and contemporary music. Read their news story on the new collaboration.

The 6-credit course, Music Performance: Chamber Music & Principal Instrument or Voice, offers participation in an instrumental ensemble at the Royal Danish Academy of Music as well as individual training in principal instrument or voice in the student’s primary area of study.

The Royal Danish Academy of Music sets a high standard in music performance; students applying must submit a solo performance recording on DVD together with a repertoire list to DIS for the Academy application committee. Once accepted, a personal course schedule will be worked out in coordination with DIS to fit the student’s other electives at DIS.

The Royal Danish Academy of Music
The Royal Danish Academy of Music is the oldest music academy in Denmark. It is a dynamic and vibrant artistic educational institution, centered 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. Watch their YouTube video below.

The Academy ensembles, through regular practice and rehearsal, prepare for performance both locally and regionally in concert and workshop settings. All students participate on an ongoing basis in different related activities such as orchestral playing, concerts, musical drama, ensemble singing and master classes, depending on the student’s area of study.

Since the summer of 2008, the Royal Danish Academy of Music has been housed in outstanding architectural surroundings at Rosenørns Allé 22, which is just a short walk from DIS. See Map.
