history

Lettering next to the entrance

Already in the Kingdom of Hanover under King George V and his violinist and concertmaster at the Hanover Opera House , Joseph Joachim , the royal seat of Hanover became a music city of European rank and one of the leading ones in Northern Germany. But instead of the additional concert hall requested by the king, Hanoverian citizens did not found an association for chamber music until the German Empire in 1872 . The Hanoverian Conservatory was also founded as a private company in 1897 by the Hanoverian court composer Emil Evers, the piano teacher Karl Leimer and the horn player, chamber singer, university professor and composer Hermann Brune (founding director) , which was taken over by the city in 1911, by the state in 1926 and in the middle of World War II was declared a regional music school . During the reconstruction years in 1950, it was merged with the Hanover Drama School and named the Academy for Music and Theater . On April 1, 1957, she was granted university status. At the same time, it was divided into the Lower Saxony University of Music and Theater and the Lower Saxony Music School Hanover . On October 1, 1962, the areas were combined again to form the State University for Music and Theater.

Between 1970 and 1973, according to plans by the architect Rolf Ramcke, today's main building at the Neues Haus (formerly Emmichplatz) was built as an exposed concrete building in the brutalist style , with the floor plan of an arena open to the Eilenriede city ​​forest . At that time it was considered to be one of the most modern buildings that was built specifically for the purpose of an artistic college. The building has been a listed building since 2011 . The state of Lower Saxony has been the sponsor of the university since 1973 , which in 1978 received the status of an artistic and scientific university.

Also in 1978, professors from the university, together with other personalities from Lower Saxony, founded the International Music Academy for Soloists to promote the gifted .

In 1985, the range of courses was expanded to include jazz / rock / pop and the complementary course in journalism. In 1990 the Institute for Journalism and Communication Research was founded and the Media Management course added.

In 2010, the management expanded the name to include the word " media ". The HMTMH thus emphasizes the media sector, which is represented by the Institute for Journalism and Communication Research (IJK), which was affiliated about 20 years earlier.

The Hanover State Opera, the State Orchestra, the NDR Radiophilharmonie, various media companies and international theater projects offer students internships and access to scholarship programs.

For this purpose, a differentiated range of courses, supplemented by numerous master courses, is currently (2019) 33 courses.

Artistic subjects

With a high-quality training in instrumental breadth and 46 instrumental professors, the main focus of study at the HMTMH is in the fields of artistic training / solo class, singing, music education and school music. As part of a strengthening of popular music education, the "Popular Music" course was set up in 2008 in addition to the existing "Jazz, Rock, Pop" course. The training focuses on the areas of piano, orchestral practice and the promotion of chamber music. Several opera productions in the academic year - including world premieres and premieres - offer the opportunity to get to know the practical conditions and requirements while studying. In 2000, the Institute for the Early Support of the Musically Gifted (IFF) was founded as the first institution of its kind at a German music college. Since the 2001/2002 winter semester, highly talented early-stage students from around 13 years of age have been trained. In the following years, the institute was expanded to include the IFF pre-class for children aged 8 and over, the VIFFRegional concept and the GrundIFF.

In piano training, the university offers its students, in cooperation with the Clavier eV at the HMTMH, opportunities to get to know the sounds from the harpsichord to today's concert grand piano. In addition to various harpsichords and clavichords, the HMTMH has a valuable collection of historical pianos and grand pianos from the period from 1790 to 1910 available for lessons and concerts (originals and copies). The university maintains artistic and scientific relationships as well as an international exchange of experiences with several national and international music colleges and universities, including in the Netherlands and Eastern Europe. Around 500 events per year contribute to the practical orientation of the training. Public concerts are often held in the main building of the Hochschule am Neuen Haus and in the chamber music halls on Plathnerstrasse and Uhlemeyerstrasse. The university usually organizes several orchestral concerts as well as two opera productions, a chamber music festival, a song festival and several choir concerts every year. JazzRockPop students perform regularly in the clubs of the city of Hanover. Around 40 students are trained in the diploma course with a focus on stage in the acting department of the HMTMH. Studying at the Hanoverian drama school (one of 13 state drama schools in the Federal Republic) is extremely popular. Around four productions premier every year in the company's own studio theater at the Expo Plaza in the Hanover Expo Park in Hanover.

Scientific and educational subjects

For the 2004/2005 winter semester, the structures of the teacher training courses (state examination) as well as the musicology and music pedagogy (Magister) courses changed fundamentally with the changeover to the internationally recognized Bachelor and Master degrees. Today, musicology at the HMTMH comprises the three sub-disciplines of ethnomusicology , systematic and historical musicology. As part of the interdisciplinary Bachelor (FüBa), competencies in the various sub-disciplines of musicology are imparted in addition to comprehensive artistic and practical training . For prospective school musicians, the master’s course for teaching at high schools or special schools (M.Ed.) offers the opportunity to deepen music-related topics in addition to music-pedagogical content. The master's degree in Music and Media (MA), which is unique in Germany, combines the fields of musicology and communication studies and trains students, among other things, for professions in music journalism as well as in public relations and the management of music companies. The focus of the Master’s degree in Music Research and Music Education (MA) is the intensive specialist in-depth study of musicology and music education . The doctoral program (Dr. phil.) Offers the opportunity to specialize in musicology. In the field of music education, the courses for teaching special needs education (BA and M.Ed.) and artistic-pedagogical training (KPA) are also offered.

Institute for JazzRockPop

Jazz, rock and pop music at the HMTMH is a Germany-wide unique offer of artistically specialized teaching, diverse musical practice and scientific reflection. In 1985 the HMTMH was one of the first universities in Germany to offer jazz, rock and pop as a subject. Since then, the field of study has grown steadily and has developed important unique selling points: The Institute for JazzRockPop, founded in the 2012/13 winter semester, comprises the courses jazz and jazz-related music, popular music, the master’s course JazzRockPop and the interdisciplinary bachelor's degree (focus on jazz, rock, pop).

Research activities, publications and scientific meetings form the core of scientific activities. The institute also regards it as its task to improve the career opportunities for graduates by actively introducing them to competitions and project opportunities.

Institute for the early promotion of musically gifted people

In 2000 the "Institute for the Early Promotion of the Musically Gifted" (IFF) was founded. As a result of intensive cooperation between the HMTMH, the relevant ministries and the Lower Saxony Foundation, the IFF was integrated into the university in the form of a regular new course for children and young people from around 13 years of age. This “early music study”, which is still unique in its kind in Germany, has since been successfully evaluated. The IFF relies on the versatility and intensity of the training, on individual support and skillful use of time resources, which also includes new ways of coordinating with general schools. In 2004, the institute was expanded to include a VIFF pre-class for children around nine years of age, so that children of primary school age can also be included in the training program.

Institute for New Music

The 'Institute for New Music ' is dedicated to conveying new music ; it is called 'Incontri' (Italian: encounters ).

Master classes, lecture series and seminars strive for close cooperation with the other institutes and departments of the university. The Forum Neue Kammermusik regularly performs student works in its own concert series. The institute is networked in the state of Lower Saxony, but also works on a national and international level. As an integral part of the institute, the electronic studio provides fundamental insights into electroacoustic composition as well as knowledge of sound analysis, synthesis, processing and live electronics.

Other institutes
