Zug Conservatory
🎼 Zug Conservatory – Together for the Future of Culture
Since 2020, the Swiss School of Music has been active in the Canton of Zug, bringing together music, ballet and performance.
We meet the criteria of the Swiss Music Schools Association (VMS) and would like to propose the next step in the canton’s musical development – the creation of the Zug Conservatory.
Our goal is to unite the resources of all music schools in the Canton of Zug and to strengthen the existing system.
🎶 Why do we need a Conservatory?
The Canton of Zug has a long tradition of strong music education with many talented students. Musikschule Zug is one of the largest and most successful schools in Switzerland.
🤝 The Conservatory will be the place where all talented children of the canton from different music schools come together.
📚 Continuous pathway – from the very first lessons to systematic preparation for academies and universities.
💡 New opportunities – ballet department, Performance Class and interdisciplinary projects.
🌍 Contribution to the canton – concerts, festivals, cultural projects and international partnerships.

🚀 Our proposal for the Canton Zug
We believe the next step for music education in Canton Zug is the foundation of a Konservatorium Zug.
-
Other cantons already have conservatories (Bern, Basel, Geneva, Zurich – even three).
-
In Zug, there are strong music schools; one of the largest and most successful is Musikschule Zug, which recently launched a Förderprogramm for talented students.
-
We propose combining the experience of the Förderprogramm of Musikschule Zug with our Performance Class (Swiss School of Music & School) to create a joint conservatory of a new type.
👉 Swiss School of Music could be a partner and a resource.
