ULYSSES JOURNEYS FOR COMPOSERS & PERFOMERS – HfMT

09/2025 HfMT – DE

akademie kontemporär

In September 2025, Hamburg Contemporary’s biennial academy will once again offer outstanding young instrumentalists and composers the opportunity to receive individual support and network with each other in the context of contemporary music.

For this year’s academy, members of the ensemble LUX:NM (Ensemble in residence) will be present in Hamburg to work on a musical program in intensive rehearsals with the participants, with a final concert taking place the last day. Guest composer Philipp Mainz will conduct a masterclass for composers.

This time, the academy planned for 2025 and the associated festival are all about money: “MONEY DOUGH”! (Public) funding for culture is being cut back in many places in Germany, political parties justify planned cuts in cultural investment with the sweeping judgment that it is a “luxury” in times of crisis. Reason enough for creative artists not to hide: let’s make music as if it were the last concert so that many more can follow and give us “Money Dough”!

Date and venue: 22-27 September 2025, University of Music and Drama (HfMT), Hamburg
