World music alumnus sets his story to music

After fleeing Syria in 2016, Hesham Hamra studied for a bachelor's degree in world music with a focus on oud at the Popakademie. Inspired by his father, he wanted to become a musician from an early age and even the war in his home country did not deter him from this goal. Through various stages, his path led him to Mannheim and the Popakademie. There he completed his studies with a Bachelor of Arts and continued his education at the conservatory in composition.
