World Drum Festival

Every year in November, drummers and percussionists from different world cultures meet at the Popakademie to make music, exchange ideas and network. In a mixture of workshops, master classes, panels and concerts, world-class soloists will introduce themselves to an interested audience of professionals. They will show what is currently the state of the art in the international drum and percussion scene. In 2023, the event will take place for the ninth time.

The World Drum Festival 2023 will be curated by Drums Department Chief Anika Nilles and hosted by Prof. Udo Dahmen.
