Concert Lab
The Leuphana Concert Lab is a transdisciplinary project in collaboration with academic and practical partners. It aims to use the medium of the (classical) concert to encourage students from all faculties to reflect on socially relevant topics and to bring these into the region: music can make something audible and tangible that can otherwise only be grasped intellectually.
On a didactic level, artistic expression is combined with the approaches of other disciplines and current social "grand challenges" are addressed co-creatively between musicians, students and teachers from all faculties.
In the area of teaching, new didactic formats will be desigend and tested from winter semester 23/24. The aim is to develop several modules, implement them in the complementary studies and bundle them into a permanent offering, e.g. as a certificate. In collaboration with young artists, students engage with current discourses, exploring how artistic means can effectively convey them.
In research, the project develops interdisciplinary approaches to classical music in the field of current social issues with members of various faculties. Through the collaboration of participants from all faculties, new structures are to be created within the university and expanded into a lively community with artists and practice partners.
