In the year of the 120th birthday of composer Hanns Eisler, born in Leipzig, the City of Leipzig announces the first International Hanns Eisler Scholarship of the City of Leipzig. Eisler, a student of Arnold Schönberg, was born in Leipzig on July 6, 1898 in today's Hofmeisterstraße 14. Leipzig, the city of music, is thus setting an important example in the vivid remembrance of Hanns Eisler as one of the most important composers of contemporary music of the 20th century. The international scholarship is aimed at composers with the appropriate qualifications, e.g. a university degree or a subject-related course of study. The scholarship focuses on a Composer in Residence Programme, which basically provides a compositional and study stay in Leipzig. The aim of the programme is to create a platform dedicated to the further development and promotion of contemporary music. The programme is conceived and organised by Eisler-Haus Leipzig e. V. in cooperation with the Cultural Office of the City of Leipzig. The scholarship holder is given the opportunity to live for five months in Hanns Eisler's home at Hofmeisterstraße 14 in Leipzig and to work on a previously conceived project. The resulting composition will be premiered at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig. The aim is for the scholarship holder to be on site mainly in Leipzig during the five months of the scholarship. In addition, the scholarship holder receives financial support of €1,000 per month over a period of five months. There is no age limit.
