Incontri—Institut für neue Musik, HMTMH

Incontri is the Institute for New Music at the Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media. It serves as the primary platform for the university’s activities in contemporary music, composition, and electronic music.

The core of Incontri’s work is the composition class at HMTMH, an internationally and stylistically diverse community comprised of students at various levels (Bachelor, Masters, Soloklasse, Jungstudium) and six staff members, including professors, lecturers, and an administrator, in total representing 13 nationalities. But Incontri is also more generally a hub for events, projects, and collaborations in new music, bringing together staff and students from various corners of HMTMH and supporting links between HMTMH and an international network of performers, ensembles, festivals, and institutions for new music.
