Each quartet receives instruction from all members of the Hagen Quartet during the course and in this way experiences interpretive considerations from all positions. The ensembles and their individual members are offered a comprehensive musical education; chamber music is more predestined for this than any other field.

General information

The university course is aimed at graduates of a relevant artistic study program at a recognized domestic or foreign post-secondary educational institution (e.g.: Bachelor's, Master's or Diploma program). Especially desired are string quartets that have already played together.

For admission, proof of completed studies and of having passed the admission examination for the university course for string quartets must be submitted.

A prerequisite for admission is passing the entrance examination. For this, an online application is required, during which the necessary documents are checked. Only after examination of the completely submitted documents an invitation to the admission examination takes place.
