Matthias Krebs | Artist Training Refugee Class for Professionals

ARTIST TRAINING: REFUGEE CLASS FOR PROFESSIONALS

• You’re new in Berlin and would like to work as an independent musician? You

want to network with peers and industry representatives? Learn more about

Berlin’s free music scene and other exciting topics such as music didactics,

social media strategies, booking, self-presentation and funding.

• For five days, experts will provide you with an overview of self-marketing in the

musical field. How do I best represent myself and my music? How do I fund my

music project? What do I need to realize a concert in Germany? In workshops

and excursions you will get important information about Berlin’s musical

practice.

The project "Artist Training: Refugee Class for Professionals" is a qualification

offer for the integration of fugitive artists at the Berlin Career College - University of

the Arts Berlin.
