German Jeunesses Musicales with new leadership
The election of the Jeunesses Musicales Deutschland (JMD) board has resulted in a rejuvenation. The general meeting elected 40-year-old Daniela Stork as the new president; four of the other eight board members are even younger.
Stork takes over from Hans-Herwig Geyer, who, together with his management team, is initiating a generational change after three board periods. Under his leadership, the association has been professionalized in terms of content and structure over the past nine years, writes JMD.
Since 2007, young people have been active in the JMD initiative "mu:v-Musik verbindet" (mu:v-Music connects), developing projects according to their own ideas and actively implementing them themselves. According to the JMD press release, the movement offers ideal starting conditions for the newly elected board.
Together with President Daniela Stork, Johannes Freyer (Karlsruhe), Claudia Klemkow-Lubda (Hamburg) and Toni Rack (Jena) will in future be responsible for the management of the association. The following were elected as assessors: Martin Lentz (Bremen), Christoph Schaller (Berlin), Anke Steinbeck (Bonn), Lisa Unterberg (Erlangen), Philipp Vandré (Heidelberg).
