Community Music / Community building through music Hillesluis - Wilhelmsburg – Two diverse disctricts in two Harbour cities: Rotterdam and Hamburg. The aim of both institutions is to deepen the relationships with and inbetween the neighbours of these districts and have them co-create their neighbourhoods. To do so, both institutions use music as a tool: The SKVR Brassband School is a good example for Community Music. 48h Wilhelmsburg is a good example to build communities through music. We brought them together. In June 2017 , the Brassband went to Hamburg to perform on 48H Wilhemsburg. Back in Rotterdam this might become the start of a festival in Hillesluis.
