New Members of the Akademie der Künste’s Music Section

The Akademie der Künste has admitted five new members this year. Its six art sections now comprise a total of 419 members. Elaine Mitchener, Brigitta Muntendorf, Uroš Rojko, Lucia Ronchetti and Charles Uzor were elected to the artists’ community at the autumn general meeting, which took place in Berlin from 7 to 9 November. The new members are part of the Music Section.

The six art sections – Visual Arts, Architecture, Music, Literature, Performing Arts, Film and Media Arts – have come into being over the course of the Akademie’s history. The idea was to make it possible for members to be categorised appropriately, even if the work of interdisciplinary artists tends to blur the distinctions between the various fields of art and there is an increasing focus on projects that span different sections.

Established in the first half of the 19th century, the Music Section, as represented by its members and programmes, is a flagship of contemporary composition, sound art and performance addressing current and future issues. It currently has 70 members.
