CoPeCo is a unique international Master’s program that unites composition, interpretation, improvisation and new technologies in one. The students, who are composers and performers at the same time, study every semester in another institution around Europe including the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre in Tallin (Eesti Muusika- ja Teatriakadeemia, Estland), the Royal College of Music in Stockholm (Kungliga Musikhögskolan, Sweden), the National Conservatory of Music and Dance in Lyon (Conservatoire National Superieur Musique et Danse, France) and the University of Music and Theater in Hamburg (Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg, Germany).
