Comenius Project

With the start of the 2008/2009 semester, also began the EU-funded Comenius Project “European Songbook.”

Within the framework of the project, music students come together from 4 different countries and address subjects such as European unity, cultural diversity, tolerance, migration, racism, and phobias in a musical context. Together they come up with ideas for songs, that they can work on together, and together perform in front of a live audience.

Here you can listen and download the songs!
