Sponsored concert exams at the HfMDK

The Kon­zert­ex­amen (Con­cert exam) is the hig­hest ar­tis­tic de­gree at the HfMDK. The pro­gram trains high­ly ta­len­ted stu­dents to be­co­me com­pe­ti­ti­ve so­loists in con­cert life. The pre­re­qui­si­te for the cour­se is a suc­cess­ful­ly com­ple­ted di­plo­ma ex­ami­na­ti­on, a mas­ter's de­gree or an equi­va­lent ex­ami­na­ti­on.

Thanks to the ge­nerous sup­port of the Deut­sche Bank Foun­da­ti­on, the stu­dents can take their exams un­der pro­fes­sio­nal con­cert con­di­ti­ons / in the con­text of an or­ches­tra con­cert. For this pur­po­se, they pre­pa­re a solo con­cert with a the­ma­tic pro­gram. They per­form it in pu­blic, true to the work, with or­ches­tral ac­com­p­ani­ment. The young mu­si­ci­ans de­mons­tra­te their know­ledge of mu­sic theo­ry and pre­sent their ex­tra­or­di­na­ry ar­tis­tic abi­li­ties. Sin­ce 2015, three con­cert ex­ami­na­ti­ons of the HfMDK have ta­ken place an­nu­al­ly at the Stadt­thea­ter Gie­ßen.

In 2021, no Kon­zert­ex­ami­na could take place in Gie­ßen. Thanks to the ge­nerous sup­port of the Deut­sche Bank Foun­da­ti­on, two Kon­zert­ex­ami­na could be per­for­med at the HfMDK for which the stu­dents put tog­e­ther an en­sem­ble them­sel­ves.
