7 - Community Music in Germany with Alicia de Bánffy-Hall

In this conversation, Alicia de Bánffy-Hall and Roger Mantie discuss the special issue on community music in Germany published in 2016. Alicia explains that the special issue came about during a time where community music emerged in Germany as a distinct field. She highlights the contributions of the Munich Community Music Action Research Group in developing community music within Germany. Co-edited by Alicia, Burkhard Hill, and Theo Hartogh, the issue invited diverse contributions, covering topics like the development of community music in Germany, intersections with music therapy programs and socio-cultural work and the education of community musicians. Since the publication of the special issue, there have been significant developments in community music in Germany, including the establishment of the Community Music Netzwerk, the expansion of community music training programs, and the integration of community music in cultural institutions.
