CoPeCo is a two-year joint master’s programme and an open platform for experimental artistic practice within a European setting. The consortium includes the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, the Conservatoire National Supérieur Musique et Danse in Lyon, and the Hamburg University of Music and Theatre. The students will spend each of the four semesters in a different institution, moving from one to the other as a group.

CoPeCo is aimed at composers, contemporary music performers, electronic musicians, sound artists, as well as those who may not fit precisely within these categories. One of the programme’s advantages is its flexibility in adapting to each student’s specific needs and interests. 

CoPeCo supports and promotes contemporary musical expression in all its aspects, including creation, production, performance, and the relationship between musicians and society. We place a strong emphasis on improvisation and music technology and provide fundamental knowledge in cultural management and music analysis. Various workshops are conducted in collaboration with professionals from theater, dance, or film. CoPeCo serves as an excellent international launch platform for young creatives.

The CoPeCo programme co-director is Taavi Kerikmäe, Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Music.

Applications for the Contemporary Performance and Composition (CoPeCo) master’s programme can be submitted via DreamApply until 31 January 2025.
