The contributions of the Friends of the Royal Conservatoire support the development of a number of special projects designed to help students prepare for their future international professional practice. As a friend you will be inspired, learn more about the Royal Conservatoire and the students and will be involved in special activities.
The Royal Conservatoire in The Hague is the country’s oldest conservatory. Every day we endeavour to provide the best possible education and exciting projects for our talented students in order to prepare them for an international career as a musician. What makes the difference is the special projects we offer for our outstanding talent in addition to the regular curriculum. We need your support to organise these projects. Your contribution will not only help the students, but also provide a crucial boost for the development of the climate for music and dance in The Hague and the rest of the Netherlands. Many of our alumni are among the top musicians and dancers in the world today.
The Friends of the Royal Conservatoire are devoted visitors, lovers of music and dance and anyone with a warm place in their heart for the Conservatoire and its students. The Friends of the Royal Conservatoire is a foundation with ANBI status. This means that it is regarded as a Public Benefit Organisation and gifts and donations made to it are tax deductible under Dutch fiscal law.
The Friends of the Royal Conservatoire’s board consists of:
Marleen Zuijderhoudt, chair
Carla Hoogweg, treasurer
Jaap Grijmans

Your support
The Friends of the KC support the development of special projects for talented students of the Royal Conservatoire. With your help we can allow our students to learn from the masters in the profession by forming partnerships with renowned musicians and dancers, professional orchestras, dance companies and ensembles. Friendship works both ways of course, and we will happily involve you in special activities organised by the Royal Conservatoire so that you can get to know the talented young artists.

- an invitation to the annual meeting of friends in combination with a concert, a performance or a guided tour (for two persons)
- a membership card that gives you discounts for special concerts/ performances
- a digital newsletter four times a year
- a copy of the quarterly brochures of the season’s events at the Royal Conservatoire delivered to your home
