Sound, rattle, boom #2!
This expectation is often set and fulfilled at or by composition class evenings.
On May 14, our guests from Rostock from the previous day will be followed by the composition class evening of the HfMT Hamburg, who will also perform a guest concert in Rostock in the future. The exchange was initiated by professors Peter Manfred Wolff (HfM Rostock) and Gordon Kampe (HfMT Hamburg). We look forward to hearing new compositions by outstanding talents at Hamburg Contemporary!

New Music Week is back for a new edition! From May 13 to 16, 2024, performers who have dedicated themselves to contemporary music - and the classics of modernism - will once again throw their hats into the ring.
No, and then again: two anniversaries of compositional masterpieces fall on the year 2024, and yet Hamburg Contemporary is not solely focusing on Arnold Schönberg (150th birthday) and Luigi Nono (100th birthday), even if it would have been so obvious and easy. Because the spotlight should be on the truly contemporary, the young musicians who get their stage here! Nevertheless, the music of the jubilarians and their contemporaries will not be completely omitted, and so students and teachers from the various instrumental areas will play several modern classics: Schönberg's "Pierrot Lunaire" and his string music, as well as Nono's "La Fabbrica Illuminata". The piano recital by Jewish composers from the first half of the 20th century presents music that has in part fallen into oblivion.
The class evenings of the composition classes from Rostock and Hamburg as well as the piano concert of the practical seminar on new piano music will sound, rattle and boom! The exchange between the composition classes will be rounded off with a return visit to Rostock in the future. The final day will then feature two highlights: Miniatures for three violins will be performed by members of the Ensemble Resonanz. The small festival will be rounded off with an ensemble concert: students of the HfMT will play selected works by renowned - and attention: still living! - composers!
