Hindemith Days 2021 - Greetings from Dr Ina Hartwig, Head of Cultural Affairs in the City of Frankfurt am Main
After more than 18 months of pandemic-related restrictions, cultural life is currently reawakening everywhere. These difficult times are now also coming to an end for the students at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Frankfurt (HfMDK) [University for Music and the Performing Arts]: public appearances in concerts in the presence of an audience which were long impossible are now permitted once more, and the Hindemith Days traditionally held by the Hindemith Institute Frankfurt in cooperation with the HfMDK have come along just at the right time this year. With the support of other cooperation partners, we have succeeded in rescheduling almost all anniversary events planned to mark the composer's 125th anniversary in 2020 and have compiled an attractive and highly varied programme for 2021 supplemented by additional formats. I wish all project partners every success and all the best for this festival.
Frankfurt/Main, October 2021
Dr Ina Hartwig
