We are pleased to announce that, effective December 2, 2024, Rinze Krijgsman will be joining Conservatorium Maastricht as Interim Team Leader for the Classical Music Department. Rinze will be stepping into the role held by Mette Laugs and will oversee educational and operational responsibilities within the department.

Rinze brings a strong background in music education and organizational leadership, which will be invaluable to our team. “I am excited to work in an environment where we all share the same passion: nurturing talent development,” he shared.
