Composition
De compositieafdeling, ooit de thuisbasis voor de revolutionaire ‘Haagse School, is gericht op het ontwikkelen van creativiteit, veelzijdigheid en het vinden van een eigen identiteit als componist. Veel componisten die in Den Haag de opleiding Compositie volgden zijn wereldwijd geroemd; hun werk wordt uitgevoerd door befaamde ensembles en op gerenommeerde muziekfestivals en podia over de hele wereld.

Five stars for Martijn Padding
In the NRC of October 11, 2024, Martijn Padding, main subject teacher of Composition at the Royal Conservatoire, received no less than 5 stars for his album Greatest Hits (So Far!). The newspaper praised the “brilliant, delicately instrumented and wittily profound pieces,” performed by our own students. This praising review highlights not only Padding's talent, but also the talent of our students at the Ensemble Academy.
