About the Program

Voice students can earn a degree in the Music Performance program. Successful graduates from the bachelor's program can continue with a four-semester master's program in Voice. The main focus is on instruction in the performance major. Four areas of focus are available for selection: opera, voice/oratorio, ensemble singing and music promotion. The master's program offers a wide range of elective courses allowing students to further develop and extend their artistic abilities. Students benefit from various performance opportunities both inside and outside the university, including at the Haus der Universität, the Robert-Schumann-Saal, or at various churches in the city. The university has its own opera class headed by Prof. Thomas Gabrisch, which cooperates with the Deutsche Oper am Rhein and prepares annual opera productions. Vocal duos work together in the regular voice class of Prof. Hans Eijsackers, where students can build their own concert repertoire and perform it in public. In collaboration with the Institute of Church Music, concerts with choir and orchestra take place several times a year, with singers from the Voice Department performing as soloists.
