Approximately 800 of the 1800 Mozarteum students receive pedagogical training. Accordingly, synergies between the departments involved are important, as they were created in 2012 by the School of Music and Arts Education (SOMA).
For his artistic-music pedagogical project "voice & piano" Reinhard Blum, lecturer at the Department of Music Education Innsbruck, was nominated together with Christian Kraler (University of Innsbruck) for the shortlist of the Ars Docendi State Award for Excellent Teaching 2019 in the category "Research-related or art-guided teaching".
On November 25, Hildegard Fraueneder was awarded the Salzburg Prize of the Kulturfonds for her special achievements and commitment.
Based on designs and fashion objects by fashion designer Roberto Capucci, students from the Design: Technology.Textiles program, together with students from the Department of Stage and Costume Design, Film and Exhibition Architecture, explored relevant questions of inspiration and its transformation.
In the form of two workshop days, students, teachers and external project participants met at the Blaa Alm in March and October 2019 and developed initial ideas for Spot On MozART in a creative process.
The management of the Mozarteum University has succeeded in acquiring an endowed professorship for the first time. This is an entirely externally financed university professorship in violin awarded to an internationally outstanding artistic personality. Maxim Vengerov, one of the world's most celebrated violinists, is coming to Salzburg to work at the Mozarteum University for three years from the beginning of the winter semester 2019/20. The public is invited to experience his masterclasses on October 14, 2019 in the Solitär and on December 9, 2019 in the Great Hall of the Mozarteum Foundation.
"Fundus" was the title of an exhibition by students of the Department of Design: Technology.Textiles. Selected works from bachelor's and master's projects were shown, which made the diversity of the new course of study publicly tangible for the first time. The students created the exhibition concept on their own and also wrote their own texts.
Zwischen(t)räume is a project by students and teachers of the study program 'Design: Technology.Textile' of the Mozarteum University, residents of the Strubergassensiedlung and the residents' service Lehen & Taxham.
The Knowledge Transfer Centre West has set itself the goal of sustainably intensifying and professionalising knowledge transfer through joint actions and measures, tapping into exploitation potential, deepening and broadening cooperation with the economy but also with society as a whole, pursuing transdisciplinary and innovative approaches and using possible synergies to achieve these goals. The Kommunikations.Hub draws on the results of the first call for proposals "Awareness and Accompanying Measures" of the first funding period of the STC. In addition to already established measures within the terms "networking", "knowledge and technology transfer", especially the work package "innovation space" offers new projects. The further training offers - "Transfer Hubs" - designed in cooperation with the WTZ Ost offer spaces of opportunity in the thematic fields of "Post-Grad Life" and "Innovation Matters".
Colours take on a variety of functions in our everyday lives. The perception of the world, nature, things and all artefacts "in colour" seems self-evident to us. Colours are systematised, catalogued and traded as material means.
Things and non-things. Things in abundance. Things that no one needs. Things that have become old. Things that are broken. Things that don't please. Things en masse. Things that nobody wants. Do you have things that you don't use? Things that you find terrible? Things that are broken? A thing with which you associate a story? Or a thing that is too beautiful to throw away?
Idling refers to the operation of a system or machine without it doing the work for which it is intended. When does an activity make sense? Is idling a reset? a cure? a pause? What happens during the idle time?
The students approached the design through different parameters: For one, the starting point was movement, for another the material, for a third the form or even the target group, and for the last the function. Courage! and laziness! are terms that the various objects proudly trumpet to their future users.
