Educational projects

The Royal Conservatoire is praised for its educational projects, in which students gain practical experience in collaboration with leading educational institutions, companies and venues from around the world. These projects result in many special concerts and performances.

Side by Side

The combined energy of the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century and the passionate students of the Early Music department playing side by side in a large orchestral production ensures that this annual project is always one of the highlights of the season.

Young Talent Project

The Young Talent Project is a talent development project jointly organised by Royal Conservatoire Dance and Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT). The programme for this event includes works from NDT’s repertoire, new work and solos, all performed under the direction of choreographers associated with NDT.

Ensemble Academy

The Ensemble Academy is a Master specialisation, intended for students who would like to combine their main subject studies with a specialisation in contemporary ensemble playing. The Ensemble Academy is a collaboration of the Royal Conservatoire with Asko|Schönberg, European Ensemble and Ensemble Klang.

aus LICHT

In 2019 the Royal Conservatoire co-produced a marathon performance of a large selection of the LICHT cycle, composed by Karlheinz Stockhausen. As the first-ever staging of such a large part of the LICHT cycle, the unique nature and scale of this project made it a truly world-class operatic and musical theatre production. aus LICHT was a joint production of Holland Festival, Dutch National Opera, Royal Conservatoire The Hague and the Stockhausen Foundation for Music.
