As part of our 200th anniversary, the honorary title Maestro Honoris Causa is awarded to individuals and organisations who have made an exceptional and lasting contribution to the arts and to their field.
As a symbol of this recognition, each Maestro receives a unique artwork from the series Things We Carry by artist Pim Schumacher. The series reflects the connections we share as people; our relationships, our stories and our sense of community, and highlights not only the individual achievements of the Maestro, but also their place within a larger whole.
Earlier this year, Ton Koopman received this distinction. This past weekend, two additional Maestri Honoris Causa were honoured: Barry Harris and Paul Scheepers.
The Maestri form a lasting source of inspiration for students, teachers and alumni of the Royal Conservatoire. Read more here.
