At 29 January 2023, the 60th regional competition "Jugend musiziert" Dresden came to an end. 115 students of the Heinrich Schütz Conservatory Dresden presented their competition programme to the expert juries.

In the process, 44 soloists and ensembles won a 1st prize; 20 performances were awarded a 2nd prize. There was extraordinary joy about 21 forwardings to the state competition, which will take place on the 3rd and 4th weekend of March in Zwickau.

Just like their instruments, our six brass ensembles shone at this year's regional competition "Jugend musiziert" last Saturday, 21 January 2023.

All six ensembles won 1st prize in the chamber music category for wind instruments and are therefore allowed to present their skills at the state competition in Zwickau. Two of the ensembles even received the highest score of 25 points! The young musicians were prepared for the competition by Andreas Roth and André Stemmler.

The three participating solo percussionists Oskar, Clemens and Dirk - Holger Schanze and Claas Lausen are their teachers - were also awarded 1st prize and may travel to the state competition.

We congratulate all the students and their teachers on this extraordinary success!

We are very pleased to announce that the following students of the HSKD will henceforth play in the Saxony State Youth Orchestra after their successful audition on 7 January 2023:

Carlotta Mauersberger, viola (class: Sandra Gamberger),

Veronika Mohm, violin (class: Christine Socha)

Tabea Urbig, violin (class: Florian Mayer)

We congratulate them and thank our music teachers for their special commitment.

We wish our students much joy in making music in the LJO!

Since 2008, the State Music Councils have chosen an instrument of the year every year - in 2023 it is the mandolin.

Our concert series is dedicated to this special instrument, its variety of sounds and exciting compositions in ten concerts.

You can find the dates and further information here (in german).

We look forward to your visit!

... who or what, if not them! But we are convinced: THERE IS MORE! And so, together with other cultural institutions in Dresden, we have set ourselves the goal of making sustainability a central theme of our thinking and actions. The central starting point is the climate-friendly and responsible use of all resources.

As a first pioneering step, we signed the "Dresden Charter for Sustainability in the Cultural Sector" with numerous other cultural institutions in our city on 13 January 2022.

Now it is time to bring the common guiding ideas to life with lived sustainability, innovative ideas and the joy of conserving resources. And you are also asked: What can we at the HSKD contribute to the protection of our nature and environment? Where do you see potential for improvement?
