The Early Music Department at the Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles is launching a new Classical-Romantic Master’s programme on period instruments.

From the start of the 2026–2027 academic year, students will be able to choose between two specialisations:

Baroque (1580–1750)

Classical–Romantic (1750–1850)

This new programme is based on the principles of Culturally Informed Performance Practices (CIPP) and offers an immersion in the performance practices of the Classical and Romantic periods through historical instruments, treatises, period sources and a rigorous artistic approach.

The programme includes:

instrumental classes on period instruments;

chamber music;

orchestral rehearsal sessions;

the practice of basso continuo;

vocal practice;
