Network for musical diversity and international cooperation

Since 2014, Hannover has held the title of UNESCO City of Music, making it part of an international network of creative cities. The designation recognizes the city’s exceptional musical diversity, excellence in music education, and the international connections within Hannover’s music scene. By holding this title, the city commits to the sustainable development of its music scene, the promotion of diversity, and the expansion of collaborations within the UNESCO network.

In addition to its rich musical history and internationally renowned ensembles such as the NDR Radio Philharmonic and the Hannover Boys’ Choir, the city is known for its vibrant music scene, which spans all genres—from classical music to pop, jazz, and contemporary music.
