GREETINGS FROM OUR LIVING GARDEN
Dear friends of the HfMT,
In the meantime, it's like a wild and blooming garden: we sow, water, nurture, support, create spaces and observe.
And our plants sprout, grow, develop and show themselves in their diverse splendor. Some slowly, some quickly. Some strikingly colorful and towering, others finer, more discreet. In groups or alone, matching or contrasting.
Always in motion - never stagnant - never finished.
And so the theme of the university magazine zwoelf, which takes an in-depth look at processes in its current issue, is also fitting.
Come - look - listen!
We love guests!
Your HfMT
COSí FAN TUTTE
Together with singers from the opera classes at the Lübeck University of Music and the HfMT Hamburg, the university orchestra is bringing Mozart's Cosí fan tutte to the stage of the Rudolf Steiner Haus as a chamber opera in a concert version.
The rehearsal phase was particularly inspiring and exhilarating. One violinist enthused after a rehearsal that there were "real golden throats" at work. And that's exactly what we need in order to enjoy a Mozart opera to the full.
Now everyone is in the starting blocks and more than ready for the
premiere on Monday, May 2.
HOW MUCH PROXIMITY DOES ART NEED?
"Proximity and distance" - this pair of terms is not only a concern for us at the university; art as a whole is also characterized by this dichotomy. And so we are organizing a second "Proximity and Distance" action day on May 5.
In response to the question "How much closeness does art need?", a program "by everyone for everyone" has been created that covers the entire spectrum of our university. From lectures and wall newspapers, workshops, concerts and performances to a concluding panel discussion in the forum. With this program, we hope to give those who are actively involved in shaping our university, but also all those who have perhaps been following the hustle and bustle of the university for many years, the opportunity to engage with the theme of this day of action in an intensive but also entertaining way.
BAROQUE ORCHESTRA - EXPERIMENTAL
"The period of study offers the best opportunities for a protected framework in which traditional habits and beliefs about interpretation, stylistic understanding and musical fidelity can be experimentally questioned without market pressures or competitive fears." The new director of the Baroque Orchestra, Prof. Domen Marinicic, works in this spirit when repertoire from the 17th and 18th centuries is on the music stands on Tuesdays from 6 to 9 pm.
"The enormous development in the field of early music and historical performance practice, which has had such a strong influence on musical life over the last 50 years, is far from over, because both research and practice are still providing new impulses for musical styles and aesthetics."
Participation in the HfMT baroque orchestra offers students from various instrumental classes the opportunity to face such enriching challenges in dealing with baroque or pre-classical orchestral music."
At the concert on 15 May, the ensemble will perform an English program.
JAZZ - EVEN MORE JAZZ - JAZZHALL FESTIVAL
"We simply continue to enjoy this space every day: it's beautiful, it's incredibly practical and acoustically great. The students feel at home there and love playing concerts there. The scene has taken to the space well, we have many, many, many requests for all kinds of concerts to take place there. And now that it's finally possible again, we want to celebrate all this in style. With twelve concerts between May 4 and 20, we will show what the JazzHall can do."
Says Lasse Grunewald - one of the two JazzHall project coordinators alongside Lucas Paradies.
With the JazzHall Festival, we are celebrating our belated inauguration - almost a year after the opening. As guests we welcome Kenny Garrett, China Moses, Nils Landgren, Kalle Kalima, Dieter Glawischnig, Kinan Azmeh and many other great personalities of the scene. more
"FROM THE HEART TO THE HEART"
As part of our "From the heart to the heart" series, we are currently planning another charity concert to support Ukrainian students and their families. The program revolves around the 30 or so Ukrainian guest students we have taken in, all of whom will be part of the orchestra playing in the Great Hall of the Laeiszhalle on 20 May.
We will inform you about the details of this concert, which are still being fine-tuned, in a special newsletter. We hope for a full house on this day so that we can continue to help in an uncomplicated and effective way! more
THE NEW ZWOELF
In addition to the main topic of processes, the latest issue of the university newspaper also presents an 8-page SPECIAL on "still President" Prof. Elmar Lampson, who is leaving us at the end of the summer semester and handing over the office to his successor Prof. Dr. Jan Philipp Sprick after 18 years.
A series of pictures, guest contributions and an in-depth interview with Stefan Grund (cultural editor of WELT/WELT am Sonntag) paint an impressive kaleidoscope of his almost two decades of work for the HfMT, which fills Elmar Lampson with "gratitude, enthusiasm and respect for this incomparable university."
