Join us for a special concert to celebrate German composer Hans Tutschku who is retiring from his position as Fanny P. Mason Professor of Music at Harvard University after 21 years. Hans has been an avid supporter of the Goethe-Institut’s mission to foster international cultural exchange and an important partner over the years. Our first collaboration took place in 2011 with Sound in Space, a festival and competition celebrating the art of Electroacoustic Music and its interpretation, which was geared towards composition students from across North America. Various symposia focused on ground-breaking debates within the German contemporary music scene followed in addition to multiple concerts at the institute. The Goethe-Institut Boston is pleased host this concert and wishes Hans all the best for life after Harvard.
Presented in cooperation with the Department of Music at Harvard University
