European Chamber Music Academy concerts


Over the past twenty years, ECMA – the European Chamber Music Academy – has become a leading platform for young professional chamber music ensembles in Europe. This October, ECMA hosts a three-day session in the Netherlands with public concerts in Utrecht and The Hague.

Selected ensembles from across Europe will work closely with internationally renowned tutors, exploring chamber music from the 18th to 20th century while engaging with contemporary perspectives through lectures and creative sessions.

The Royal Conservatoire is proud to be one of ECMA’s partner institutions. These concerts offer a rare opportunity to hear tomorrow’s leading ensembles and experience the evolving tradition of chamber music.

Ensemble participants and tutors will be announced soon.
