Interdisciplinary
Forum for Contemporary Music Cultures
The Forum for Contemporary Music Cultures (FMKG) offers a platform for interdisciplinary seminars, lectures, presentations, workshops, and (research) projects. It is aimed at researchers and students, as well as teachers and pupils in Dresden and beyond. As a place for networking and reflection, it sees itself as a meeting point between theory and practice, experiment and intervention.
The FMKG is directed by Lukas Bugiel. The team includes Jörn Peter Hiekel, Robert Rabenalt, Wolfgang Mende, and others.
Insights - Zwischen den Zeilen
The lecture series "Insights: Between the Lines" offers insights into the multifaceted field of music theory. The invited guests explore core areas of music theory and related disciplines, examining music and its rules, effects, characteristics, and secrets, which are often hidden "between the lines." Through lectures, research reports, and presentations, we learn about their discoveries and how these insights can be applied to musical practice or conveyed in teaching.

Studentisches Peer-Learning
In the summer semester of 2026, a student peer-learning format will be launched at the Dresden University of Music. Students who have already gained experience in the fields of freelancing and digital marketing will pass on their knowledge to their fellow students.
