From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term Rotterdam School is used to refer to a group of composers related to the city of Rotterdam. [1]

What started in the final decade of the twentieth century within a small circle of composition students at the Rotterdam Conservatory with a manifesto [2] by Rotterdam composer Oscar van Dillen, has been taken more seriously now in larger musical circles. [3] Many Rotterdam composers have made successful careers in contemporary or theatre music. [3]

It is impossible to accommodate all Rotterdam composers together in one kind of style or musical æsthetic. [1] Therefore, one could not really speak of a school in the traditional meaning of the word. [1]

The colloquium (called "practicums") at the Rotterdam Conservatoire, led by composition teachers Peter-Jan Wagemans and Klaas de Vries, played an important, unifying role. [3]
