Flood disaster hits musical life hard
The flood disaster in July 2021 also severely affected musical life in some German federal states: for example, music archives, instrument stocks and rehearsal and event rooms of music schools and clubs were damaged or destroyed.
According to the German Music Council, the state music councils and other music organizations responded with great commitment to support the music scene affected by the flood damage.
For example, the Rhineland-Palatinate State Music Council called for a state-wide collection campaign for music-making flood victims with "Music helps music", the North Rhine-Westphalia State Music Council solicited donations and the Saxon Music Council passed on the proceeds of a benefit concert to musical initiatives and associations affected by the flood disaster in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate. The German Music Council supports these initiatives.
