Berlin (MH) – The pro-rector of the “Hanns Eisler” University of Music Berlin, Andrea Tober, will become the new rector. The Extended Academic Senate elected the professor with an absolute majority in the first ballot, as the institution announced on Thursday. Tober’s four-year term begins in the 2023/24 winter semester. The new Rector succeeds Sarah Wedl-Wilson, whose official duties she took over in April, when the Briton was appointed State Secretary for Culture in the Berlin Senate.

Tober explained that she wanted to strengthen cohesion and the sense of community at the “Eisler”, sensitize the students to social issues and new artistic spaces. The university should “enable and encourage students to find their way, to develop self-efficacy, to shape their future in a professional reality that we are all unfamiliar with,” said the designated rector.
Born in Herford in 1972, the musician, music teacher and culture manager has been teaching as a professor for self-management and music education at the Eisler University since 2012 and at the same time headed the education program of the Berlin Philharmonic until 2020. In October 2019 she was elected Prorector and advanced the digitization process within the university.
Tober studied music with a major in flute and German studies in Essen and Hanover, taught at schools, music schools and music colleges, gave concerts in various chamber music formations and was the manager of various festivals and ensembles.
