CSMA is a reference center at a European level, and for this reason, we are convinced that internationalization is vital to face the future. The CSMA International Office is responsible for promoting and coordinating the different agreements and collaboration partnerships established with various foreign higher education institutions.
In close collaboration with the Erasmus coordination, the CSMA International Office offers support and advice to Erasmus students from other countries, while also promoting new agreements with other European centers. We also provide guidance for our students who wish to study abroad, either within the Erasmus program or for Master’s degrees after completing their studies at CSMA.
Due to the international nature of the professors invited to teach our postgraduate advanced courses, the International Office also plays an essential coordination role in this area, facilitating communication between these professors and the different departments.
In coordination with other international offices of our partner centers, we contribute to CSMA strengthening its position and prestige in Europe and worldwide.
International Cooperation Projects
CSMA is committed to establishing agreements with European centers to share artistic and pedagogical projects, collaborating in all kinds of initiatives that favor the development of the social and integrating function that musical art has in society.
CSMA has already participated in various collaboration projects between European centers. Among them, we could highlight the staging of the operas “The Magic Flute” by W.A. Mozart (2011) and “Il Trovatore” by G. Verdi (2012) with the Hochschule für Musik Freiburg and the San Pietro a Majella Conservatory of Naples, respectively.
Another type of collaboration was the one that allowed CSMA to participate in the international meeting “Opus Erasmus III” organized by the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Boulogne-Billancourt (2013). This project involved the participation of three other European centers: Joseph Haydn Konservatorium des Landes Burgenland (Eisenstadt), Conservatorio San Pietro a Majella (Naples), and Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University (Istanbul).
Likewise, in recent years, CSMA has been one of the international venues for the Schleswig Holstein Musik Festival auditions, collaborating closely with said institution and attracting a large number of applicants from all over the world to Zaragoza.
Among its future plans, CSMA intends to organize different types of projects that allow for the creation of links with other international institutions and favor the development of complementarity between centers and the fluid exchange of ideas between them. Different themes have begun to be developed, and it is worth highlighting the development of academies for new music and early music, whose immediate inclusion in the center’s training scope would be clearly favored by the establishment of collaboration agreements with other international centers.
