Music at Esslingen University

Play Classical Music!

The Esslingen University Orchestra provides music for a variety of University events. The annual matinée advent concert has become an atmospheric ritual for many University members, friends and partners.

The Association of Friends of the University has supported the Orchestra since its inception. This has ensured the continued existence and cultivation of the Orchestra at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences.

The Orchestra would like to invite students, teachers and friends of the University to join in. 

Rehearsals:

Thursdays, 17:30 - 19:30 in the Aula on the Hilltop Campus, Flandernstrasse 101  

Director:

Senior lecturer Steffi Bade-Braeuning

Sing_Uni

Every year a new musical – that is the motivation for the singers of SING_UNI. The small but select choir premieres a tailor-made musical every year – composed by its own author – that fits the members perfectly. The members take on the solo and choral parts and also design and create the stage scenery.

Rehearsals:

Wednesdays, 19:00 - 20:30 in the Aula on the Hilltop Campus, Flandernstrasse 101, regularly during semesters

Director:

Senior lecturer Steffi Bade-Braeuning 

University's little band

The University’s little band with the big sound has made a name for itself through its performances during the Kandelmarsch Student Parade and in the musicals staged by SING_UNI. Like the University Orchestra and SING_UNI, the band is composed of students, school students, former students and friends of the University.

We stage jazz classics, rock and pop and are looking for saxophonists and trumpeters as well as a bassist.             

Rehearsals:

Thursdays, 19:45 – 21:15 in the Aula on the Hilltop Campus, Flandernstrasse 101, regularly during semesters
