Students at the Berlin University of the Arts regularly enjoy great success in competitions throughout Berlin, Germany and internationally, returning to the university with numerous awards. It is our great pleasure to present some of the prize winners from the past few months. Among them are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize winners of the Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy University Competition, the Samter Chamber Music Competition and the Schnabel Piano Competition.
Support us!
The Berlin Senate has imposed enormous savings targets on public universities. You know that: An excellent musical education consists not only of the many hours of solitary practising and lessons by professors, but also, to a large extent, of performing in front of an audience. This inherent part of the training is also the opportunity for you to attend almost always free concerts at a high level. We don't want to have to cut back on this. By attending our events, you can also show those responsible in politics that music and art are meaningful for every society. And if you can: support us with small or large donations. The donations are used for teaching, tuning, transport, advertising material, for our music festival crescendo - wherever no funds can be spent at the moment. This directly benefits our students and also you as the audience, as this is the only way we can maintain events of this calibre and variety.
Thank you very much!
