The HfMT is represented with two nominations for this year's internationally renowned German Music Prize for Classical Music
In the "Video clips" category, the video project "Jubilee"by Prof. Mattias Höfs which he produced last year together with alumni and current students to mark his 20 years at the university.
Another nomination was made in the category "Singer of the Year": here Pia Davilaformer vocal student of the HfMT, can be pleased about her participation in the competition. Born in Berlin, soprano Pia Davila studied classical guitar as a young student at the Julius Stern Institute of the Berlin University of the Arts until she decided to study singing after graduating from high school. She then studied with Prof. Jörn Dopfer at the HfMT, where she completed her concert exam with distinction in March 2018. She also completed her training in Hamburg with Prof. Burkhard Kehring.
Prof. Matthias Höfs on the nomination of his video project:
"We have Wolf Kerschek to thank, who wrote this composition for over 60 trumpet players, René Türschmann, who compiled all the audio submissions, and of course Lucas Etcheverria, who produced the video for us.
The fact that we managed to be nominated together with the big stars of the industry with "in-house" forces is a great accolade in itself, for which we are very grateful and proud and gives our students in particular a great motivation boost in this "game-free" year.
In the meantime, 195,000 people have seen our video on Facebook and it has been shared over 2,000 times. If our success so far can also serve the image of our university, I'm doubly pleased."
The OPUS KLASSIK is the new prize for classical music in Germany. The aim of the Verein zur Förderung der Klassischen Musik e. V., the organizer of Germany's most important classical music prize, is to promote classical music and in particular to honor its artists.
