Welcome
The Cantorial School is a department of the Abraham Geiger College at Potsdam University. Its aim is to educate male and female cantors for Jewish communities. The Abraham Geiger College Cantorial School is the only one of its kind in Central and Western Europe and the first cantorial school in Germany since the Holocaust. In close cooperation with Potsdam University we offer a comprehensive curriculum that combines vocational training in liturgical singing with an academic education in Jewish Studies, Religious Education and courses in Music Theory.
Studies at the Cantorial School are supported with scholarships and Cantorial students spend one year of their studies at the School of Sacred Music of the Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion in Jerusalem.
