The Times & The Times Academy


In THE TIMES, young composers (aged 10-20) have their compositions performed by the professional musicians of HERMESensemble.

During rehearsals, participants experiment with sounds. They develop their personal style and craftsmanship. Each participant receives individual training from a coach (professional composer).

In addition to The Times, HERMESensemble, AMUZ and De Veerman are also developing a separate trajectory for young composers (conservatory students and participants of SOUNDMINE) under the name THE TIMES ACADEMY. This is a co-creation trajectory, in which a new composition takes shape in close collaboration with the musicians of HERMESensemble.
