The Barenboim-Said Akademie offers an unprecedented conservatory education for talented, young musicians from the Middle East, North Africa, and around the world, uniting intensive music performance studies with a grounding in the humanities – all within the heart of historic Berlin.
The Akademie offers both a Bachelor of Music degree and Artist Diploma program in all orchestral instruments, piano, composition, and conducting. The accredited, four-year undergraduate Bachelor degree provides the depth of intense professionally-oriented music studies alongside a broad introduction to the humanities, while the post-graduate Artist Diploma program prepares pre-professional musicians to embark on a performing career, combining high-level music studies with electives in the humanities.
