Ton Koopman Academy Concert
As part of the festive year celebrating Ton Koopman's 80th birthday, students from the Early Music departments of the conservatories of The Hague, Paris, Brno and Barcelona will rehearse shoulder-to-shoulder for a week with members of the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, conducted by maestro Koopman.
A special edition of the Ton Koopman Academy
Since 2018, the Royal Conservatoire has organised the annual Ton Koopman Academy, led by world-renowned baroque specialist Ton Koopman. During this intensive course week, a group of excellent students get the chance to immerse themselves for five days in a programme of individual lessons, chamber music, coaching and workshops at the highest level.
This edition, the Ton Koopman Academy is dedicated to works by Georg Friedrich Handel. Together, participants will form a baroque orchestra and a baroque choir and immerse themselves in the works under the direction of Ton Koopman and members of the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra. The concert on 31 January will be the finale of the Academy and will offer a unique opportunity to experience the results of this collaboration.
