Moritz Hoffmeyer and Béla Noll (both class Joachim FW Schneider) were awarded in the competition "Jugend komponiert" of the Landesmusikrat Baden-Württemberg. The award is a workshop that encourages young people who are interested in contemporary composing and improvising. From all applications, 10-15 applicants were selected to participate in the composition workshop. During the workshop days, well-known composers and professional musicians assist them and initiate the young talents into the most important aspects of modern composition. This year, Matthias Ockert (University of Music Dresden), Alwyn Tomas Westbrooke (University of Music Karlsruhe) and Achim Bornhoeft (University Mozarteum Salzburg) will lead the workshop. Together with a professional ensemble, the young people's own works will be developed and performed in a final public concert.
