Eisler Haus Leipzig e.V

Composer in Residence programme

The Composer in Residence programme in Hanns Eisler’s home is unique in Europe. The focus of the programme is the International Hanns Eisler Scholarship of the City of Leipzig, which essentially comprises a compositional and study stay for a composer. This stay takes place once a year in parallel to the summer semester of the University of Music and Theater “Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy” Leipzig.
