50 Years of the Klaus Kuhnke Institute for Popular Music
2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the Klaus Kuhnke Institute (KKI) for Popular Music. Founded in 1975 by Klaus Kuhnke, Manfred Miller, and Peter Schulze as the "Archive for Popular Music" in Bremen, the institute has evolved into today’s KKI and has been part of the University of the Arts Bremen since 1991.
A festive celebration will take place on Tuesday, 25 November 2025, in the HfK Concert Hall, starting at 8:00 p.m.
The evening features a varied programme with musical performances by members of the university, as well as humorous and reflective speeches. Friends, supporters, and all those interested are warmly invited to join the celebration.
