The college educates approximately 1400 students in different disciplines each year, including folk music, jazz, classical music, conducting, composition, music and media production.[1]
4 new concert halls within the campus was designed and built in 2012. These included the main hall (Kungasalen), the smaller chamber-music hall (named after world-famous violinist Nathan Milstein), the ‘Little Hall’ which is adapted for electronically amplified music. The last and fourth hall, called the ‘Black box’ is an experimental space for both acoustic and amplified music. The halls are classrooms for the students, as well as performance spaces for the public to listen.[2]
