Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Frankfurt am Main is well known as a financial center of the European Community and its airport connects Central Europe with destinations all over the world. On the other hand Frankfurt, the city where Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was born, is an important cultural center as well.
Music is a prominent feature on Frankfurt’s cultural scene. The internationally renowned Ensemble Modern has close ties with the city, as does great jazz or the electronic music scene represented by Sven Väth, one of the world’s most popular DJs and techno producers. The Oper Frankfurt is one of the leading opera houses in Europe and has received the Opera of the Year Award several times, most recently in 2013.
Frankfurt am Main offers theater in all its diversity at around 20 stages putting on over 100 performances a week, including an English Theater. The famous Forsythe Company give regular guest performances at the Bockenheimer Depot, wowing their audience with contemporary dance. The Künstlerhaus Mousonturm (Mousonturm Arts’ Centre) is a performance, production and theater-research facility of international standing. Here, independent artists of all genres are shaping the theater of tomorrow.
The University of Frankfurt am Main was the domain of the Frankfurt School of Philosophy. Theodor W. Adorno and Jürgen Habermas were professors there. Currently, the Max-Planck-Society, which is the most important research institution in Germany, is about to establish an Institute of Empiric Research in Aesthetics located in Frankfurt am Main.
At the University of Music and Performing Arts Frankfurt am Main about 1000 students are enrolled in a diversity of programs such as artistic instrumental and singing programs, opera, drama, dance and dance pedagogy, arts management, teacher programs, and research. Like in most music colleges at the academic level in Germany the focus is centered on the artistic programs. Nevertheless the music teacher’s program is an important part of the university. About 230 teacher students are part of these programs covering all levels of music education in schools from grade 1 up to 13.
