People From Upper Bavaria
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Academic Staff Of The Hochschule Für Musik Und Tanz Köln
An academy ( Attic Greek: Ἀκαδήμεια; Koine Greek Ἀκαδημία) is an institution of secondary or tertiary higher learning (and generally also research or honorary membership). The name traces back to Plato's school of philosophy, founded approximately 385 BC at Akademia, a sanctuary of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and skill, north of Athens, Greece. Etymology The word comes from the ''Academy'' in ancient Greece, which derives from the Athenian hero, '' Akademos''. Outside the city walls of Athens, the gymnasium was made famous by Plato as a center of learning. The sacred space, dedicated to the goddess of wisdom, Athena, had formerly been an olive grove, hence the expression "the groves of Academe". In these gardens, the philosopher Plato conversed with followers. Plato developed his sessions into a method of teaching philosophy and in 387 BC, established what is known today as the Old Academy. By extension, ''academia'' has come to mean the accumulatio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Georgia Koumará
Georgia Koumará (born 1991 in Thessaloniki), is a Greek composer. She currently lives in Cologne. Her musical style plays with time (perceived, conceptual and measured), texture and energy, and her works are often quasi-theatrical in nature. She was a student of Johannes Schöllhorn, Michalis Lapidakis, Kostas Siempis, Lenio Liatsou and Lilia Vaseiliadou. Her 2012 work, ''astropedo'', for voice and piano, is based on a text by Angelos Kyriou. The work explores various psychological states, some of them violent; the piano part is made percussive through the use of preparations, and the vocal part involves extensive use of extended vocal techniques. In 2015, her orchestral work, ''Schrödinger's Cat'', was performed by the WDR Orchestra, and was subsequently broadcast on WDR 3 on March 11, 2015. Her work, ''Walk in and Find Your Supper'', was commissioned and premiered in 2016 by the German ensemble hand werk at Cologne's New Talents festival. Written for flute, clarinet, viol ...
