The Mozarteum University

500 lectures, many of whom are internationally renowned artists and teachers, pass on their knowledge and their art, thus making the university al place of lively intellectual exchange and dialogue.

The history of the Mozarteum University goes back to the year 1841 and is characterised by the work and teaching of outstanding personalities such as Bernhard Paumgartner, Clemens Krauss, Paul Hindemith, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Carl Orff and Sándor Végh. The Mozarteum School of Music was founded by the Salzburg Cathedral Music Association. In 1914 it became a conservatory, in 1953 an academy, in 1970 a Hochschule of music and performing arts and finally, in 1998, a university.

The Mozarteum University fosters international relations with associated music and art academies by means of an international exchange of lectures and students, scholarship programmes, exchange concerts and mutual projects.

Students and lectures engage in joint artistic activities as an integral part of the course programme. They perform in public in several concerts, plays, dance and opera productions as well as participation in exhibitions, thereby enriching cultural life in Salzburg. Besides intensive studies in an arts-friendly environment, networks are created here for later professional careers.
