The Royal Academy of Music department in Aalborg is currently located on Ryesgade, but in 2013 the department will move into the brand-new Musikkens Hus
On Ryesgade, there are several large and light practice and teaching rooms that are also being used for rehearsals. There is also a choir hall and sound studio. All rooms are equipped with relevant instrument collection. Furthermore, in July 2010, the department received an entirely new Steinway concert grand piano.
Aalborg department has a large classical concert hall, which can hold an audience of up to 100 people. Rhythmical concerts are held off premises at Studenterhuset and Huset.
The House of Music will give a wide range of opportunities to develop interesting ideas and new forms of collaboration, when the Academy musician/music teacher study programs will meet professional classical musicians in the Symphony Orchestra. At the same time, the new building will ensure highly modern practice rooms, a sound studio and other similar facilities that will make the daily life easier and more suited to an Academy student.
The House of Music will not be the only cultural innovation in the area. The old Nordkraft buildings have recently been transformed into a gigantic culture center that already hosts the music venue Skråen and Aalborg Kunsthal (Aalborg Art Hall). The building will also contain DGI, Jomfru Teatret, Aalborg Music School and the Rhythmical Day and Evening School.
Nordkraft will be filled with many other natural collaboration partners of the Academy and together with the new Utzon Center as neighbour aims at making the city into a new cultural power centre.
The Royal Academy of Music has an impressive collection of instruments within the classical area. You may find examples of available instruments for e.g. loan, practice, concerts, etc. below.
