Sound Understanding 2024

Last week, DAAD and the DAAD Alumni Association USA brought a cohort of talented DAAD grantees together for this year's Sound Understanding concert at the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in New York. These DAAD music fellows are selected in a national competition among the best students of Germany's renowned music colleges, and this yearly event allows them to come together as an ensemble to perform in one of New York's most storied venues.
