Department of SRH University Berlin for classical and world music
The Department of Classical and World Music is a place where different musical traditions are treated as equal forms of artistic expression.
Its programmes go beyond the model of a conventional conservatory. Rather than focusing on a single tradition, they are built around dialogue between diverse musical cultures.
Creativity and artistic exchange remain central to the Department’s educational approach.
