On 1 December, admission will open for MA in Contemporary Performance and Composition (CoPeCo).

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 advantages of the programme is its flexibility in adapting to the specific needs and interests of each student. CoPeCo supports and promotes contemporary musical expression in all aspects, including creation, production, performance and the relationship between musicians and society. We place a strong emphasis on improvisation, music technology, as well as providing 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.

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

On November 18 at 15:00, an online information session for CoPeCo will be held on Zoom, providing an opportunity to learn more about the application process, curriculum, and practical arrangements. The programme co-directors and coordinators from all partner institutions will be present. Registration to the session is open HERE
