The working focus of Salzburg Music History has set itself the goal of making information on Salzburg's music history easily accessible through overviews and archival materials, and to update this information on an ongoing basis. In addition, there are publications and numerous events such as workshops, symposia and guided tours.

2020 marked the 125th anniversary of the birth of Carl Orff (10.7.1895-29.3.1982). His stage work "Carmina Burana" is internationally known as well as his approach to music education and the percussion instruments named after him. His concept of elementary music is about initiating creative music making from the beginning and thinking musical learning from improvisation.

The University Mozarteum will conclude the three major anniversaries of the Orff Year with an extensive festive weekend from July 2 to 4, 2021. The ceremony on Friday will focus on the possibilities opened up by inter- and transdisciplinary approaches in artistic, pedagogical and scientific contexts.
