Treffen junge Musikszene

<h3>The Nahaufnahme 2026 Musicians</h3>Annemary (Annemarie Knauer) Fionn Meo (Fionn Mark) Jude Saller Lasse Tiemann Liyo (Lioba Jakoby)Nahaufnahme is an advanced support programme for former prize winners of the Treffen junge Musikszene, culminating in a final concert. Through a series of workshops, the young artists receive sustained support and guidance as they take further steps towards a professional career.Participants are invited to bring their own musical material into an open exchange with the coaches and fellow musicians. Nahaufnahme offers artistic profiling and development through individual workshop sessions in songwriting/composition, beat production, soundscaping, producing, lyric writing, and arranging. The programme challenges participants with creative tasks that encourage them to step beyond their comfort zones, draw inspiration from one another, and collaboratively reinterpret their own songs in new musical ways.The programme consists of three phases: Phase I begins with a two-day kick-off event at the end of August. Phase II is the intensive workshop phase, which takes place alongside the Tanztreffen der Jugend. Phase III concludes the programme with a final working phase and the closing concert as part of the Treffen junge Musikszene at the end of November.Participation in all sessions of the three phases is a requirement for participation.<h3>Concept and Artistic Direction of Nahaufnahme 2026</h3><a href="${link:{uuid:{a4fce536-6a99-4ed7-b924-3ad4bcdbe56b},repository:{artists},provider:{jcr},path:{/bfs-mediathek/A/mya-audrey}}}">Mya Audrey und Daniela Lunelli aka Munsha</a>

Nahaufnahme 2026

The musicians selected for this year’s Nahaufnahme are invited to engage with each other and with their musical work on different levels, to enter into courageous collaborations with each other and to be inspired by interdisciplinary impulses. In this way, they develop new perspectives on their own artistic work and have the opportunity to explore new fields of development for themselves. Musical-artistic collaboration and experimentation in different constellations are an essential part of the format. In addition, there are intensive coaching sessions that are tailored to the concrete individual needs and questions of the participants. Nahaufnahme is not about results, it is the process that counts. In a workshop session during the Tanztreffen der Jugend and a Nahaufnahme concert during the Treffen junge Musikszene, the young musicians share the experiences of their joint artistic journey.<h3>The Musicians of Nahaufnahme 2023</h3>Lucas Dippold, Eva Latrovali aka EALA, Caecilia Lucius, Leander Machan, Anna Urban aka chaoswithlegs<h3>Head of Nahaufnahme 2023</h3>Direction&nbsp;–&nbsp;Daniela Lunelli aka Munsha, Marco TrochelmannDaniela Lunelli aka Munsha&nbsp;is a Berlin-based Italian musician, composer, sound designer and music educator.

A highlight of the Treffen junge Musik-Szene is the public concert of the award winners. Due to the Corona pandemic, it was not possible for the twelve acts selected by the jury to present their work live in front of an audience in 2021.

Over four weekends, more than 3,000 visitors took part in over 350&nbsp;tours covering all 27&nbsp;Ringbahn stations, exploring alternative visions of Berlin’s future. In the audience vote that followed, he asked participants to decide which of the projects he had presented would be most needed in Berlin’s future, and which of the proposals deserved to be realised. The public vote ultimately named the Central Site of Learning and Remembrance&nbsp;at Treptower Park S-Bahn station as the audience’s favourite project.
