Focus on HfMT Cologne
Welcome to the July issue of International Arts Manager.
This month, we mark a major milestone for one of Europe’s leading performing arts institutions: the Cologne University of Music and Dance (HfMT Cologne), which celebrates its centenary in 2025. In this cover feature we look not only at its rich history, but also at how a commitment to openness, cultural diversity and progressive thinking continues to shape the next generation of artists.
