Insights into College Life

Over the past two semesters, Barbara Overbeck has produced a series for WDR 3’s “Tonart” program profiling the college experiences of Elnur Misirli (a flutist in Prof. Eyal Ein-Habar’s class) and Marlene Töcker (a bassoonist in Miloš Dopsaj’s class). In the three radio episodes  Die ersten Erlebnisse, Was passiert in den Semesterferien? and Prüfungen you’ll get fascinating glimpses into the college life of our students. It’s definitely worth a listen!
