This was the Summer Academy 2023

An encounter with others and with oneself. Giving space and receiving space. These two phrases aptly describe the Concerto21 Academy again this year. During the two weeks of the academy, the artistic profile of the participants was first taken apart and then put together again in a new, different, better way. Some were taken by the hand, others received encouragement to embark on the next adventure on their own. Some needed concrete advice, others were inspired and picked out what seemed important to them at the time.

In the first week, Roman Sladek, Tina Sikorski, Martin Rohrmeier, Konstantin Udert, Ivan Turkalj, Annekathrin Hentschel, Carsten Brosda and Ansgar Wimmer provided impulses for reflection and rethinking. In the second week, the focus was on developing the new ideas further and putting them into a form. The participants were supported by Michael Gottfried, Karl-Josef Pazzini, Annika Trost, Sebastian Rohde, Sophie Colindres, Eva Maria Dessecker, Bettina Bohle, Georg Stirnweiß and others. From start to finish, the academy was led and accompanied by the "dream team" Andreas Brandis and Sonia Simmenauer.
