If you have already achieved a high level on your instrument, this programme might be appropriate for you. Established chamber music ensembles may also apply.

Mentorship

The benefit of the programme lies in the close follow-up that results from the mentorship of your instructors and the relevant academic community at the Academy. You will have the time and the specialised resources to be able to immerse yourself in your work as a soloist.

If you play an orchestra instrument you will be able to apply for an internship with the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra or the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra. Students accepted as interns will receive a scholarship.

When you have completed your studies

When you have completed your studies you will have a Master’s degree and will be in a position to work as a soloist in orchestras both in Norway and abroad. Earning the Artist Diploma will enable you to forge a network that you can develop further, and can serve as a professional musical springboard for furthering your career path.
