Modernizing European Higher Music Education Through Improvisation

Intensive Programmes

METRIC Intensive Programmes

Every year, one of the member institutions of the METRIC Network hosts an Intenstive Programme (IP): five full days of workshops and masterclasses on improvisation.

Every institution invites some of its student to the IP, where they will be able to practice and learn with students and teachers from the other institutions.

The programme of the IPs normally features workshops in groups, masterclasses, discussion moments and concerts. For additional material and more information about the past and upcoming IPs, please visit the dedicated pages. 

The next edition is planned to take place at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague from the 22 to the 26 February, 2027. 

The METRIC Network is also pleased to invite the public to its first public Symposium, taking place on 26–27 February 2027 at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague.

The METRIC Symposium 2027, “The improvising conservatoire”,  brings together teachers, researchers, students, practitioners and management of Higher Music Education Institutions to explore how improvisation can take a stronger place in conservatoire life.
