The visual artist Gertrud Fischbacher and the multimedia expert Marius Schebella received the Förderpreis für Wissenschaft und Forschung. Since 2019, as a collective, they have been investigating the connection between textiles and sound and exploring new possibilities of expression in them, inviting visitors to experience and experience them in exhibitions, performances and installations.
Promotion Prize for Science & Research (endowment 6,000 euros) to Gertrud Fischbacher & Marius Schebella
The two researchers received the award, endowed with 6,000 euros, for their work on the joint project "Nexus of Textile and Sound", which was the first Salzburg project to be accepted by the FWF's Austrian Science Fund into the PEEK Top Research Program and with which they were able to prevail in a competitive selection process reviewed by an international jury.
This is the first time that PEEK funding has gone to both the Mozarteum University and the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences.
Mozarteum graduate Calixto María Schmutter (Directing, 2025) has been nominated in the Best Emerging Talent category (Costume Design, Directing, Composition & Sound, Stage Play) for the prestigious NESTROY Award. The nomination recognises the directing, composition, and sound design for “The Tempest or La Isla Bonita,” based on William Shakespeare’s play – a co-production of the Tyrolean State Theatre and the Thomas Bernhard Institute at Mozarteum University.
The winners of the 2024/2025 Outstanding Master’s Thesis Awards are Leonie Caterina Trips, Linda Elisabeth Nicolussi and Leo Feichtinger – our warmest congratulations!
