Classic

The Neuburg Summer Academy has been taking place since 1978 and undoubtedly makes an immeasurable contribution to comprehensive exchange, networked communication and mutual understanding, which is a necessity in today's era of globalization, as overcoming ethnocentrism is a prerequisite for understanding culturally different people. It is all the more gratifying that the Summer Academy has attracted more and more participants from abroad in recent years and thus has an impact not only across regions but also internationally. In this sense, inspiring our participants to take global responsibility for their artistic activities seems to me to be a particularly important task. In a world that seems to be losing all empathy, it is all the more important that the arts do not unite regionally, but work well together to counteract this apocalyptic phenomenon. With its long-standing summer academy, the city of Neuburg also sets an example for intercultural communication every year, with no limits to interdisciplinary integration in the individual departments and courses. Here, everything is conceivable and everything imaginable is possible. There are no limits to ideas. Interdisciplinary communication and spontaneous action are desirable, also because we want to give improvisation more space and it cannot pretend that it is just a musical phenomenon. With this in mind, I wish us all enough stubbornness and freedom at the 47th summer academy so that the “Neuburg Summer Academy” does not become too academic.
