Prof. Dr. Jan Philipp Sprick elected to the RKM Board of Directors

The Rectors' Conference of German Music Universities (RKM) is an association of the 24 state music universities in the German Rectors' Conference (HRK). From October 1, 2023, Prof. Dr. Jan Philipp Sprick, President of the Hamburg University of Music and Drama, will be a newly elected member of the board, representing the interests of music education at national level.

A central task of the RKM is to jointly promote the interests of music universities in cooperation with decision-makers in politics, society and third-party funders. It also coordinates tasks relating to teaching, research and artistic development projects. Jan Philipp Sprick is very much looking forward to the tasks ahead: "I am grateful to be part of the RKM Board for the next three-year term of office. The music academies in Germany have an important role to play in training the next generation of musicians. They stand for the unity of teaching, artistic practice and research and I will work to ensure that the universities work together strategically and are perceived as an important voice in the HRK."

The current Chair of the RKM, Prof. Dr. Susanne Rode-Breymann (Hanover), will hand over her office to Prof. Christian Fischer (Trossingen) on October 1, 2023. Other board members are Anne-Kathrin Lindig (Weimar) and Prof. Rainer Kotzian (Nuremberg).
