The Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts (HfMDK) is Hesse's university for music, theater, dance, and related disciplines, training students for artistic, pedagogical, and academic professions.
Our central mission is to provide our students with an excellent education. The intensive, personalized artistic and academic mentoring, the integration of theory and practice, and a wide range of projects and collaborations characterize the exceptional quality of
education at the HfMDK. A key focus is contemporary art.
As Hesse's only university dedicated to the performing arts and their dissemination, we are located in the heart of Frankfurt and the culturally vibrant Rhine-Main region: a dynamic arts hub within society, where the future of the arts is explored and shaped – by the people who study, teach, and work here with a spirit of experimentation, passion, and commitment.
As a networked university, we collaborate with all major cultural institutions in the region and beyond, and we are committed to promoting the arts for all through long-term projects.
