The Master's Degree program in Dance, with a specialization in choreography/composition or performance, is designed to equip creators and performers with the tools that will enable them to find their own creative and interpretive language and an educated and sophisticated artistic perspective. The program aims to highlight and tighten the discourse between artistic endeavor and the theoretical sphere in dance.
The Master's Degree track in Jazz Performance is for students with a B.Mus. Degree who have attained a high performance level in playing and/or singing jazz, and who seek to bolster their academic knowledge as well as their ability to lead jazz ensembles, with an emphasis on original creativity.
Creativity and originality, central to artistic jazz, have characterized outstanding jazz musicians through the ages.
Our studies will cover the breadth and depth of unique jazz styles, laying the foundation for each student to develop his/her own original jazz language.

This year, which marks Beethoven's 250th birthday, was supposed to be a year of celebration of his music. The events of the past few months prevented us from holding the last four Beethoven concerts of the Academy's concert series, but technology is coming to our aid. On June 3rd, 10th and 17th we will perform virtual concerts from the academy's hall, which will be broadcast live on the internet. Of Beethoven's works we will hear the 3rd cello sonata, the “Ghost” and “Archduke” piano trios and the septet op. 20.
