The Freunde und Förderer der Hochschule für Musik und Theater Rostock e.V. (Society of Friends and Supporters of the Rostock University of Music and Drama) supports student participation at competitions all over the world, provides funds for doctorates and artistic projects, makes guest lectures possible, and provides help and support when acquiring new instruments.

We provide funds in areas that stretch beyond the scope of state funding and thus make various activities possible. We also provide the university with access to our broad range of contacts. We carefully select the projects to fund in close cooperation with the university governance. The university’s Rector is a member of the society’s board of directors.

As a member of the Society of Friends and Supporters you will receive regular invitations to university events and information about special projects. We combine our annual general meeting with a concert and reception that make it possible for us to touch base with fellow members.

Become a member of the Society of Friends and Supporters and support our University of Music and Drama!

Guitar class on concert tour

With the support of the Friends of the hmt Rostock, we guitarists will once again be able to go on a concert tour this year. In May, we will be performing Steve Reich's "Electric Point" for 12 guitars, 2 basses and solo guitar with a large ensemble in Berlin and Bonn. We will also be joined by 3 alumni. This would not have been possible without the generous support of the Förderverein. Last year we were able to perform at the major guitar festival in Mikulov/Czech Republic, where we were able to perform Marek Pasieczny's "Ex Nihilo" for 12 guitars and 2 soloists with great success. We are very grateful to the Förderverein for this!
