Open House - varied program
Saturday, 06/20/2026 15:00 - 22:00 Hochschule für Musik und Theater

Welcome!
We open the doors for our big HfMT summer party from 3 pm.
A varied program awaits you in the halls of the university and in the garden, providing the best entertainment into the balmy summer night.

At the same time, we are celebrating the 10th Open Society Day, which sets an annual example for democracy, diversity and cohesion. On this day, people put tables and chairs outside their doors and get talking to each other - and so do we.

Get on your feet. We look forward to seeing you here!
