Musik:Welt Hildesheim - Elbphilharmonie Hamburg

What a beautiful month with so many encounters, finally connecting with people in person again:

A weekend in Hildesheim with the students and colleagues of the MA Musik:Welt Cultural Diversity in Music Education. We learned and listened to the Master thesis projects of the students and spent a beautiful evening celebrating and dancing and singing and eating together. Thank you Morena and Raimund!

Followed by an intense day in Hamburg at the Elbphilharmonie working with the education team and a group of wonderful artists collaborating on a community project. Starting with a tour of the concert hall, to me leading two workshops: one on developing a deeper understanding of community music, followed by a creative arts workshop implementing approaches to community music through dance, spoken word and music. Thank you Ilka, Kian and Charlotte!
