Music and Art School Osnabrück
Various concert series shape the study semester: For example, university orchestra and choir concerts are held regularly - also in the auditorium with over 500 seats. The chamber concerts present the works worked on during the semester. The concerts usually have a theme, which the students themselves can help to determine. Here, for example, a composer, an epoch or a country forms the focus. The StudyUp Award traditionally takes place in the summer. It is held in two categories: chamber music and solo. The chamber music award is endowed with a monetary sum. The winner of the solo award is invited to play a solo concert with the university orchestra.
