Chair: Prof Knut Schoch
The event is part of "her*hits", a major German-Austrian cooperation project that aims to establish a permanent and sustainable repertoire of outstanding songs by female composers in music academies and concert halls.
her*hits: Female song composers. Sought, heard, celebrated
In recent years, songs by female composers have increasingly attracted the attention of music practitioners and researchers. Time and again, female composers and their works are 'rediscovered' and then relegated to the background. This is where her*hits comes in, with the aim of establishing a permanent and sustainable repertoire of outstanding songs by women composers in music academies and concert halls. But what are "outstanding" songs? The work of discovery must also be critically examined - after all, aspects of sovereignty of interpretation, power and historiography play a role here.
The major German-Austrian cooperation project will take place in the summer semester of 2025, involving the song classes of the conservatories in Hanover, Cologne, Nuremberg, Graz and Salzburg as well as the International Hugo Wolff Academy. The project is based on a close interdisciplinary collaboration with Junior Professor Dr Maria Behrendt, Head of the Research Centre for Music and Gender at the Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media (HMTM Hanover) and Professor Dr Susanne Rode-Breymann, Visiting Professor for Music-Specific Gender Research and Artistic Research in the Top Professorships Programme of the Hightech Agenda Bayern at the Nuremberg University of Music (Nuremberg University of Music).
