Werner Neugebauer
Violinist Werner Neugebauer is a specialist in early music and historically informed performance. A long-standing member of the Mozarteum University faculty, he brings decades of international concert experience into his teaching and artistic work.
Werner Neugebauer (b.1967 in Graz) studied violin performance at the Mozarteum University with Irmgard Gahl. At the same time he pursued his interest in baroque violin, receiving lessons from Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Hiro Kurosaki. He completed postgraduate studies with Ernst Kovacic at the Vienna Academy of Music.
Extensive international concert work followed with the Camerata Salzburg, alongside collaborations with leading period-instrument ensembles including Concentus Musicus, Klangforum Wien and Ensemble Baroque de Limoges. From the mid-1990s onward, chamber music became a central focus of his artistic work, leading to regular appearances at major festivals such as Styriarte and the Salzburg Mozart Week. As a member of several long-standing ensembles — among them Scaramouche, the Piano Trio Fontaine, the New Classic Ensemble Vienna and, since 1998, the Hyperion Ensemble — Neugebauer has performed at the Wiener Konzerthaus, Concertgebow Amsterdam, Stefaniensaal Graz, Yale University USA, Beethovenhaus Bonn and the Wiener Musikverein.
He has taught at the Mozarteum University since 1993, initially as an assistant and teaching his own students violin pedagogy and in the pre-college programme since 2006. He has also held a Professorship at the Anton Bruckner Private University in Linz since 2018.
