Discover your true potential during a week full of music, inspiration and creativity.
During the summer holidays of 2025, the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp will be organising an intensive music course for young musicians preparing for a classical music entrance exam, as well as for students already enrolled in a conservatoire programme. You will work for a week with internationally active teachers. The range of instruments offered varies from year to year, depending on the availability of the teachers. This course is an invitation to work specifically on your musical development and to be inspired by other motivated students from home and abroad.
Experience an intensive week centred on music and growth.
