Sound Understanding - DAAD Alumni Association Annual Concert


Sound Understanding is the DAAD Alumni Association's annual concert which showcases the young, talented DAAD music fellows from Germany who have spent the past year studying at music schools in the US and Canada. The music fellows are selected in a national competition among the best students of Germany's renowned music colleges.

At 7:30pm on Thursday, April 10 , the 2007/08 DAAD music fellows took the stage for a concert of classical and jazz music to help raise awareness of the work of DAAD and the DAAD Alumni Association in promoting transatlantic exchange.
