This year, AKG, the manufacturer of high performance studio, broadcast and live sound equipment, is expanding the programme, opening it to talented individuals from even more countries (including Spain, Italy, Turkey and Russia), offering them the opportunity to spend seven days in Berlin, learning about music and sound.

Building on the success of last year, the Scholarship which takes place from 30th July – 6th August, will again provide a life-changing opportunity for participants. During the week, the students will be advised on how best to develop a career based around their passion for sound and music, with a series of audio workshops and mentoring sessions led by some of electronic music’s leading artists and professionals.

Stay tuned for detailed information on the leading artist, contributors and content of the workshops on the Scholarship of Sound 2011, which will be announced at the beginning of March 2011.
