World Premiere of False Assumptions

Festival Dag in de Branding - The Hague (NL)


"False Assumptions" has been commissioned by SMASH.duo, formed by Chloë Abbot (trumpet) and Moritz Koch (percussion). It is made up of six parts featuring movements developed together with the precious expertise of the choreographer and contemporary dancer Matea Kiselichka. Each part highlights this instrumental combination and their counterparts recorded on tape, forming a rich color palette. The premiere is in Korzo Theatre in The Hague on March 16th at 17:00.

"Brass and percussion: they have been musical peas in a pod since the days of the Ancient Greeks. Stereotypically they are surrounded by a whiff of the military and, more recently, jazz. SMASH.duo is well aware of this and has asked five composers to write new works that challenge these stereotypes. Trumpeter Chloë Abbott and percussionist Moritz Koch are both very active in the European new music scene. As SMASH.duo they battle age-old preconceptions around their instrument combination. Don’t expect a stiffly conventional recital, but rather something akin to a pop concert, with inventive lighting and stage design". [Read more]

Composition course + Final presentation on the 'Day of the Composer' 2023

Do you write your own music and you are curious about the Contemporary style? Would you like to work on a new piece under the guidance of a professional composer? Would you like to present your work to the public during the Day of the Composer? Would you like to perform a piece of the 20th century repertoire together with other people? Various topics will be discussed during the lessons: What exactly is a score? I have so many ideas but I have trouble organising them.... How can I learn to listen and analyse better? How can I develop my artistic concept efficiently and bring it to life?


The first edition of the 'Dag van de Componist' (Composer's Day) was a great celebration and the kick-off of a new tradition. Composers, musicians, halls and festivals have taken up the challenge together to put the composers and new music in the spotlight with this collective event!

Open Day: 25th January 2020, Royal Conservatory of The Hague (NL)

Three presentations in the 'Stockhausen Analogue Studio' by Sara Zamboni, alumna of the Composition Department.

Open Day 2020 - M0101 Studio

"Working with some confidence in a place such as the Stockhausen Studio is a big advantage for a composer. In fact, it is a very powerful tool for any music creator. In order to be flexible, technologically-informed, develop a personal sound vision and imagination independently from music genres and styles, it is recommended to be familiar with some essential principles of electronic music. These principles can be demonstrated ad practiced in this studio. Understanding the priority of having sounds that are at the same time  'interesting' and 'usable in a composition' requires a long process of exploration, generation, taste development and selection. This studio can be a monster-instrument to be played, a meditation place, a fully equipped workstation and an inspiration for a future musical profession".  SZ
