Event

In the spirit of Hermann von Helmholtz, this musical project thrives on collaboration with or between renowned scholars from various institutes or faculties (in particular) at Heidelberg University, such as the Institute for Theoretical Physics (Prof. Dr. Manfred Salmhofer), the University Hospital, and the DKFZ (Prof. Dr. Hannah Monyer), and it integrates interdisciplinary courses, such as those offered by the Musicology Seminar (Prof. Dr. Christiane Wiesenfeldt) in collaboration with the Philosophy Seminar (Prof. Dr. Philipp Brüllmann) in the winter semester 2024/25, as well as a research collaboration within the framework of the Marsilius College (Prof. Dr. Wiesenfeldt, PD Dr. André Rupp) and other academic collaborations.
