Doğa Çetin, a student in Ulrich Windfuhr's conducting class, has made it to the second round of the innovative "CAMPUS DIRIGIEREN" competition. Born in Turkey, she has been studying at the HfMT since 2023.

CAMPUS DIRIGIEREN combines an interdisciplinary master class (CAMPUS I) with a competition (CAMPUS II) for conducting students from all music academies in Germany. 12 conducting students were selected for the second round at CAMPUS I in Nuremberg last week.

The first part, CAMPUS I, took place from March 31, 2025 to April 3, 2025 at the Nuremberg University of Music and was divided into four modules: Symphonic Music, Music Theater, Film Music and Contemporary Music. Each institution was able to send two conducting students, and a total of 33 participants took part. The proportion of women was 39 percent. After the four days together, the supervising mentors selected 12 candidates to be sent to CAMPUS II in Dresden and thus become participants in the competition.

The concept of combining master class tuition with the first stage of a competition is unique and has now proven itself for the third time. The actual competition (CAMPUS II) will be held in Dresden from May 26 to 31, 2025. Projects with the Staatskapelle Halle, the Württembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen, the Philharmonic Orchestra Kiel, the Neue Philharmonie Westfalen, the Bergische Symphoniker, the Philharmonic Orchestra Hagen, the Theater Osnabrück, the Elblandphilharmonie, the Vogtlandphilharmonie and the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie Herford are planned as prizewinners' concerts.

On Thursday, April 10, 2025, Doğa Çetin will conduct Sofia Gubaidulina's First Violin Concerto in the Forum of the HfMT LINK.
