Council service for musician Refugees

[DeepL:] In the project 'Information on the Berlin Music Labor Market - Personal Counseling and Support," the Landesmusikrat makes its network available to musicians who have had to leave their homeland for political reasons or to flee armed conflicts.

The project is funded by the Weltoffenes Berlin program of the Senate Department for Culture and Europe.

For newly arrived musicians, the Berlin music job market is difficult to survey. There is a lack of information about minimum requirements for formal degrees or artistic level, as well as knowledge about typical entry-level opportunities, musical education structures, funding, artists' social security funds or starting a business. Experience gained on the domestic labor market is usually not applicable. In addition, there are general problems such as applying for a work permit or insurance issues.
