 MU21K – The Music management class for under 21-year-olds

Reeperbahn Festival and TONALi are happy to launch music management classes for music enthusiasts under 21 years. The kick-off starts with three workshops in Hamburg and Filderstadt. The program consists of 7 modules, and is aimed at young people (16-20 years old) who want to get involved in society with their own cultural projects and gain insights into the processes and work areas of culture and music management.


Starting next fall, the program will be expanded to many more music schools throughout Germany.
