Volunteering in Mendelssohn House Museum
FAIRbund e.V.
Felix-Mendelssohn-Bartholdy-Stiftung
Leipzig, Allemagne
Description
The project begins in Sep/Oct for 10-12 months. The Mendelssohn House in Leipzig was constructed in 1844/1845 and is the last and the only remaining and preserved private address of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy who has been residing here with his family since 1845 and died here on the 4th of November 1847. The museum is thus concentrated on the time when Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy lived and died and is considered to be the musical and museum-like center for the cultural inheritance of the composer. Its' aim is to present the life, work and the historical influence of the composer, director, piano virtuoso and mediator between the religions and the Europeans. The volunteer tasks are mainly: welcoming the guests, giving information about the museum, working often at the reception desk, guiding visitors in English or other languages, helping with events & concerts management and promotion. The volunteer will have an opportunity to create and develop his/her own projects.
Modalités d'hébergement, de restauration et de transport
The volunteer will live in a hostfamily or in a shared flat with an own room, but share a kitchen and a bathroom. Food/Pocket money will be paid out to you as well as money to buy the local transportation monthly ticket (altogether 538 euro) or you just buy a bike, which you can sell at the end of the project. Leipzig is a very nice city to ride a bike.
