Professor Doctor Daniel Sebastian Scholz, heading the newly established musician health professorship in Lübeck, places a strong emphasis on mental well-being. As many musicians suffer from health issues such as painful tension, restricted mobility, stage fright, and performance anxiety. These problems can have significant consequences for their music careers and, in the worst case, lead to their premature end. Causes often include overexertion due to excessive practice, psychological stress, performance pressure, or instrument handling. His conference covers topics such as self-worth beyond the instrument, the destigmatization of mental stress in the professional lives of classical musicians, fundamentals of healthy musical practice, as well as on stage fright treatment.
The project is part of the National Cultural Program 'Timișoara - European Capital of Culture in 2023' and is funded by the Municipality of Timișoara through the Project Center.
