Together with the Schule auf der Veddel (school in Veddel, Hamburg), ensemble reflektor founded the „Reflektorklassen“ in 2019.
Two musicians thereby take on a 5th grade class for a full year of sponsorship. The ensemble thus believes in long-term partnerships rather than intermittent collaboration. Alongside the pedagogue Malin Kumkar, music teacher at the Schule auf der Veddel Susann Hoffmann is closely involved in the conception and realization of the projects.
The regular interaction between the students and musicians engenders new perspectives for all involved. The musicians share their artistic experiences with the young students and in so doing, often exemplify life styles and career blueprints that may be unknown to them. Simultaneously, the input of the students inspires the ensemble to always rethink its own artistry as well as its place in the classical music scene to retain a forward-thinking approach.
In 2020, the Schule auf der Veddel and ensemble reflektor will continue their cooperation. A focal point of the „Reflektorklassen 2.0“ is the connection between musical praxis and digital media.
