back to news

In April 2004 the project "A voyage into the music of the 21st century" initiated and developed by Burkhard Friedrich in cooperation with the Landesmusikrat Hamburg won the 2nd prize within the "Competition of the Deutsche Musikrat and Yamaha-foundation for outstanding music-pedagogical innovation". The prizes were given to the winners by Bundespräsident Johannes Rau at 1st of April 2004 in Frankfurt.

"A voyage into the music of the 21st century"
In a collective working process students of public schools meet composers of contemporary music. Hereby they gain a many-layered access to new music and composing.
During a time period of about 6 months they develop a composition, which will be premiered by the students themselves in public. More than 500 students and 28 composers actively joined the project under leading of Burkhard Friedrich.

At 11th of June 2004, 19.00, the compositions of this year's working period will be world premièred at the "Kleine Musikhalle Hamburg", Johannes-Brahms-Platz.
