After graduation

On students and alumni

  • Classical guitar won't get more fancy than with the Four Aces Guitar Quartet. Eight years after their debut these four well-dressed hot shots have outgrown their flemish roots. Especially their second cd Odyssee was a big success, even in China. On their newest album For Aces  you'll only find compositions written especially for them. Their first gig was part of the final project of Stein Verrelst at the conservatoire of Antwerp. In 2013 they won Supernova, a Belgian chamber music competition.
  • Jutta Troch is a harpist specialised in contemporary music. She plays in formations like ensemble Besides and Nadar ensemble. As freelance harpist she shared the stage with Ictus, Spectra, Het Paleis, the alternative rock band Dez Mona and Brussels Philharmonic. With her Baroque harp she is part of with BOX (Baroque Orchestration X). 
  • Menno Buggenhout plays with His trust fund and also composes his own music.
  • Emma Wouters is part of a duo with her sister.
  • Jan Sanen
  • Nico Couck

Specialise your skills with a postgraduate degree. The Royal Conservatoire Antwerp offers several unique postgraduate programmes, which give you the chance to focus on specific elements which are important in your practice as a musician. The postgraduate training offers focused programmes with contact hours which are primarily set by the individual. This gives you the advantage of not only focusing on what is important for you, but doing this at a time that suits you. The Conservatoire already works together with relevant specialists and members of the profession. We pride ourselves on keeping our study programmes up-to-the-minute, and ensuring close links with an internationally relevant network.
