The Konzertexamen (Concert exam) is the highest artistic degree at the HfMDK. The program trains highly talented students to become competitive soloists in concert life. The prerequisite for the course is a successfully completed diploma examination, a master's degree or an equivalent examination.

Thanks to the generous support of the Deutsche Bank Foundation, the students can take their exams under professional concert conditions / in the context of an orchestra concert. For this purpose, they prepare a solo concert with a thematic program. They perform it in public, true to the work, with orchestral accompaniment. The young musicians demonstrate their knowledge of music theory and present their extraordinary artistic abilities. Since 2015, three concert examinations of the HfMDK have taken place annually at the Stadttheater Gießen.

In 2021, no Konzertexamina could take place in Gießen. Thanks to the generous support of the Deutsche Bank Foundation, two Konzertexamina could be performed at the HfMDK for which the students put together an ensemble themselves.
