MONEY DOUGH
International Academy Contemporary and Days for Contemporary Music at the HfMT Hamburg
Saturday, 09/27/2025 19:30 HfMT, Forum
From September 22 to 28, 2025, the HfMT will be dedicated to contemporary music: Hamburg Contemporary presents three outstanding concerts that open up new sound spaces. The focus will be on the collaboration with the members of the renowned Ensemble LUX:NM, an ensemble in residence that works intensively on new works with young musicians, and the Ensemble RADAR Quartet. A special focus of the Akademie Kontemporär is the collaboration with visiting composer Philipp Mainz, who will hold a master class with the academy's scholarship holders. This year's thematic bracket "MONEY DOUGH" takes up an explosive topic: In the face of increasing cuts in cultural funding, Hamburg Contemporary wants to make a musical statement - loud, alert and unmistakable. Art is not a luxury, but a necessity. Let's make music as if it were the last concert - so that many more can follow.
