Welcome to the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel!

With a Bachelor and Master of the Brussels Conservatoire you are set for an inspiring professional career! If you want to join an international orchestra or end up doing something entirely different with your degree, our programmes are the ideal preparation for a bright future. 

Thanks to the programme Jazz Song, I became a confident jazz musician! At KCB, I am encouraged to be creative with the basic principles of traditional jazz vocalists and musicians. The collaborations with my fellow students, support from my teachers and the close bond that develops between all the singers made me immediately feel at home at KCB!
