MPA 2026 EVENTS
For more than 10 years, Music Production Academy has been a place where DJs and producers take the next step toward becoming artists. Located in the heart of Rotterdam, MPA brings together high-level education, professional studios, and a strong creative community to help turn ambition into real progress.
Over the years, we’ve hosted countless masterclasses, workshops, and community events that connect music lovers with industry professionals and like-minded creators. These moments are at the core of what MPA stands for: learning together, growing together, and creating opportunities beyond the studio.
