Chamber Music Mälardalen University

The essence of chamber music is collaboration and responsibility. The programme places a strong emphasis on personal responsibility and demands an independence musically and practically - i.e. planning and meeting deadlines.

The programme consists of different modules in combination with artistic performances to ensure competence and progression not only in instrumental technique, musical expression and ensemble playing but also in issues of artistic research, artistic and academic writing, entrepreneurship, work-life orientation, business/judicial matters and gender equality.

Teachers with international experience

Throughout the programme you will be taught by an esteemed faculty of teachers and guest lecturers from the Swedish and international musical scene.
