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. 

I love KCB for its community of teachers and students who give themselves fully in pursuit of music in its beautifull form. This community provides support and space for me to grow, fail and become a better musician. Both teachers and students are fully dedicated to music and that's what makes me happy to come to the conservatoire!
