The conducting course "International Masterclass for Conductors Hamburg" by Ulrich Windfuhr took place for the first time at the Kulturforum Lüneburg

The HfMT has a long and successful tradition of training conductors. Prof. Ulrich Windfuhr is part of this tradition and is leading this legacy into a vibrant future. From August 20 to 27, the Lüneburg Symphony Orchestra was a partner in the university's regular master classes for the first time, working with international participants to develop a program that was presented in two final concerts.

These included Yuval Barack from Israel, Jessica Rivera Altarriba from Cuba, Andrea Alessandrini from Italy, Alec-Frank Gemmill from Great Britain, Camilo Tellez from Colombia, Ning Ma and Jinghy Zhang from China and Maximilian Leinekugel from Munich. In addition to the famous violin concerto by Mendelssohn and the cello concerto by Schumann, the participants performed symphonic music by Beethoven, Mozart, Rossini and the recently deceased Syrian composer Nuri El Ruheibany.

The "International Masterclass for Conductors Hamburg" is sponsored by the Thörl Foundation and the University Foundation of the HfMT.
