Welcome

Studying Music in Dresden

Diverse, Individual, Practical

The Dresden College of Music views itself as a place for the cultivation of the music culture in which art, science and instruction in theory and practice are interconnected. There is a lively exchange between tradition and renovation, continuity and experiment. Freedom to experiment, new working methods and artistic research are components of everyday life at the College.

The university stops teaching and practicing until May 3rd, 2020 and cancels all events until the end of the summer semester 2020

Due to the exit restrictions imposed by the city of Dresden and other measures that may be expected, the university will be switched to emergency operation with effect from Sunday, March 22nd, 2020 at 00:00.

We want to contribute to the protection of all members of our university and their families. In concrete terms, this means that all buildings of the university are closed. All students and employees of the university are still obliged to notify the university if they are diagnosed with a corona infection.

The following also applies: With the exception of the crisis team set up for emergency operations by the rectorate, all employees are released from their duties and are no longer allowed to visit their workplace and the university's buildings. Only activities that are absolutely necessary (operational administrative tasks, support of system-critical infrastructure, etc.) are maintained on site in the office. Persons who are not named for emergency operation are not allowed to enter the university building and do not receive a special permit in the event of a state-ordered curfew. The regulations apply from Sunday, March 22, 2020, 00:00 a.m. until further notice.

All public events taking place at the Dresden University of Music until the end of the summer semester 2020 (concerts, podiums, conferences etc.) were canceled. Tickets that have already been purchased can be returned to the ticket office where they were bought. Due to the abundance of canceled events, longer waiting time are expected. Tickets purchased online are processed directly from the Reservix ticket sales portal (reservix.de).
