On 8 May 2025, we will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. Today more than ever, it is imperative that we keep alive the memory of what happened 80 years ago and strive to preserve peace and democracy. The Mozarteum University will be holding a series of (commemorative) events throughout the year of remembrance, which will look back at the beginnings of the Second Republic and explore how this period still shapes events today.

In October 2025, Mozarteum University will launch a new Master's programme in Open Arts that is unique in Austria. The Master's programme is inter-, trans-, multi- and even non-disciplinary in nature and is aimed at students from all subject areas who want to break down disciplinary boundaries in their artistic practice and open up new paths in the long term.

No News. Under the motto "Universities vote for Europe", universities and universities of applied sciences are jointly calling for participation in the European Parliament elections on 9 June 2024. Together, we want to promote participation in the EU elections as a clear message in favour of a common Europe and as an expression of courageous cohesion in a vital EU, thereby also highlighting the importance of the EU as a scientific area. https://uniko.ac.at Press release What added value does the EU bring us? Studying throughout the EU: The EU guarantees its citizens the right to study in any other EU country under the same conditions that apply to nationals of that Member State. Academic mobility is promoted and supported by the ERASMUS+ programme. Joint research:  The EU facilitates cross-border cooperation between European researchers and invests in large-scale framework programmes for research and innovation. The EU promotes the global networking of its universities and research institutions. At the same time, it is developing a framework that guarantees the security of research and protects European interests in a global context. Research funding for climate neutrality: The EU supports research to combat climate change, covering a wide range of topics from new technologies to social cohesion issues. This supports the European Green Deal, which aims for a fair and inclusive transition to a climate-neutral Europe. Strategy and rules for the digital transformation: The EU is responding to the digital transformation and the rise of artificial intelligence with its own set of rules. The EU has an AI strategy and is currently developing ethical guidelines and regulations to mitigate risks and funding corresponding research and education programmes. Guaranteed academic freedom: The EU is committed to academic freedom. Academic freedom is inextricably linked to democracy, the rule of law and human rights. These principles are guaranteed in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. What we expect from Europe Develop the EU as an attractive science area: The EU must ensure that international cooperation in education and research remains guaranteed and is further expanded. Europe must remain an attractive location for research and innovation that is open to international students, researchers and teachers while maintaining European standards and values. Promote research cooperation between regions: In order to achieve synergy effects, investments in high-quality science must be distributed across all regions, including the provision of suitable digital infrastructure. Introduce university compatibility check: The EU should carry out a prior assessment of legislation that could impact universities and their activities (e.g. in the areas of trade, migration, digital transformation or the rule of law), involving the higher education sector, and ensure that new regulations do not hinder education, research and innovation. Provide ambitious funding: EU research programmes must be ambitiously funded. National and European research spending should be coordinated to create added value. Voting as a signal for a common, vital Europe From 6 to 9 June 2024, more than 370 million EU citizens will be called upon to elect 705 representatives to the EU Parliament. This EU election is the first in which UK citizens will no longer be able to vote due to Brexit. The universities are relieved to note that - contrary to some fears - the centrifugal forces in the European Union have not increased after Brexit. Nevertheless, the example of the UK in particular shows that the dangers of anti-European propaganda should not be underestimated. With this in mind, we consider a high turnout in the EU elections to be an important signal for strengthening the Union and European democracy, as the EU Parliament is the only directly elected institution in the Union. uniko President Oliver Vitouch: "Democracy does not come for free. It has to be fought for, preserved and nurtured again and again. We cannot be indifferent to an energetic, vital, forward-looking Europe - and the geopolitical developments of the disinformation age make it abundantly clear how important courageous cohesion and the voice of reason are today." Ulrike Prommer, President of the Conference of Universities of Applied Sciences (FHK): "It is important for us to send a clear message in favour of a united Europe, especially in light of the current geopolitical situation. That's why universities are voting for Europe on 9 June 2024!" Universities Vote for Europe

General Information In the course of the fair pay development, we ask you to deal with this topic in order to negotiate appropriate fees. In order to facilitate negotiations, contractual agreements and settlements, we provide you with links to relevant information here. Sample contracts (mica Austria) Template for royalty notes (freefinace) Fair pay - fair remuneration for artists and cultural professionals Advocacy organisations in the arts and culture sector have been drawing attention to the difficult situation in the arts and culture industry for years: poor pay, precarious employment and discontinuous working conditions are problems that many arts and culture professionals have to deal with. Periods of unemployment between engagements or projects also mean that an entitlement to unemployment benefit is never realised. An irregular and unpredictable income also results in a lack of social security in the event of illness and a lack of protection against poverty in old age. A large proportion of artists and cultural professionals live at or below the poverty line, as a study on the social situation of artists and cultural mediators in Austria shows (2018)1. The demands of the interest groups IG Kultur Österreich published a Fair Pay Manifesto in 2021, which was developed in cooperation with its more than 800 member initiatives, including the TKI (Tiroler Kulturinitiative). It describes the requirements for fair pay, contains concrete implementation steps and demands for policymakers. Also in 2021, the Austrian Cultural Council published a Fair Pay Reader together with all cultural interest groups in Austria. For the first time, this provides an overview of all fee and salary recommendations currently available in Austria for the arts and cultural sector. It also includes the salary scheme of IG Kultur Österreich and the TKI (Tiroler Kulturinitiative) salary scale, which has been in existence since 2009 - one of the first recommendations for fair pay in the cultural sector in Austria. Moving into politics The issue has now also reached those responsible for cultural policy: The implementation of a ‘Fair Pay’ strategy by the BMKÖS (Federal Ministry of Arts, Culture, Civil Service and Sport) with the federal states, the Association of Towns and Municipalities, and the interest groups of the cultural sector has begun in order to make payment in the Austrian arts and culture sector fairer. In 2022, the federal government launched a pilot phase on fair pay in the arts and culture sector and made around 6.5 million euros available for earmarked fair pay funds for the first time; in 2023, a total of 9 million euros will be made available for subsidies in the spirit of fair pay. Solidarity - the responsibility of each individual However, even if awareness of the problem is increasing in politics and cultural organisations, the salaries are still only guidelines and not legal requirements. The proposed fees are called ‘minimum fee recommendations’ and can serve as a basis for negotiation; however, it is up to each individual to implement them. It is therefore all the more important that artists and cultural professionals show solidarity and do not practise their art below a certain minimum fee - in the knowledge that they are not only negotiating a current amount for themselves, but also weakening their negotiating position for other colleagues and thus the market in the long term if they are underpaid. Minimum fee recommendations for the individual art and cultural sectors can be found on the following pages, among others Fee schedule 2023 for independent cultural work IG Kultur: The current FAIR PAY salary scheme for cultural associations (from 1 January 2023) IG freelance musicians: Fee recommendations music austria: Minimum fee recommendations for the music sector IG visual arts: Guidelines and fee schedule 2023 IG independent theatre work: Lower fee limit Basic ideas on fee structure If you look at the recommended minimum fees, you might initially think that a fee of 350 euros for a single performance lasting one to two hours is already a very high hourly rate. However, if you take a closer look, it quickly becomes clear that the amount of work required to be able to perform at all is many times higher than the pure duration of the performance. Rehearsal and development times, travelling costs, the purchase of appropriate materials, rehearsal rooms, technical equipment, etc. all have to be factored in. It should also not be forgotten that many artists and cultural professionals work on a freelance or hybrid basis; this means that they do not have a regular income, have to pay taxes and insurance on their own and also have to cover office hours for acquiring orders, bookkeeping and organisation. In conclusion, it should be said that the fair pay strategy is currently under development. Theory and practice do not always coincide, compromises have to be made in many areas and personal needs must not be disregarded. Society, politics and cultural organisations need time to rethink. But in order to achieve a minimum, a maximum must be demanded and with every discussion, every negotiation and every engagement with this topic, we move closer to the common goal: fair remuneration for artists and cultural professionals. 1 Source: ‘Social situation of artists and art and cultural mediators in Austria’ 2018 An update of the study ‘On the social situation of artists in Austria’ 2008 Petra Wetzel, with the collaboration of Lisa Danzer (L&R Social Research) Veronika Ratzenböck, Anja Lungstraß, Günther Landsteiner (Austrian Cultural Documentation) Ensembles  Classical (Opens in new tab) Organic Strings (Opens in new tab) Emilia Wutte (Violine), Veronika Seiler (Harfe), Miriam Tiefenbacher (Orgel) Das Trio Organic Strings präsentiert ein eindrucksvolles Programm u. a. mit Werken von Komponistinnen aus Klassik und Moderne.

They find their common language in music. The melting pot of their ideas and personalities, combined with a great deal of curiosity, a serious thirst for knowledge and with beauty as the ultimate goal, results in passionate interpretations that are historically informed, critically reflective, technically sophisticated and phenomenally communicative. The quartet won first prize at the Gianni Bergamo Classic Music Award 2022 and is currently the recipient of the ensemble scholarship of the International Society of the Mozarteum University Salzburg. They have participated in festivals such as the Académia Internacional Quartet (Spain), the Festival Jeux de Chaises (Canada), the Zeister Muziekdagen (Netherlands), Guadix Clásica (Spain) and the Budapest Festival Academy (Hungary) Since 2024, the quartet has been studying in the Master of Chamber Music programme at the Mozarteum University with Cibrán Sierra-Vázquez.

(Piano Recital) Leona Rajakowitsch © Shirley Suarez Name: Leona RajakowitschInstrument: Flute Leona Rajakowitsch, born in Villach in 1999, began playing the flute at the age of 5. When she made her debut in an orchestra at the age of 13 with D. Zanettovich's Concerto for Flute and Strings, the foundation for her musical career was laid. Her desire to pursue her passion for filigree music-making led her to Paolo Taballione at the Mozarteum University, where she began her studies in 2017 and completed her bachelor's degree with honours in 2021. The young flautist is currently completing her master's degree in concert flute. For the academic year 2023/24, she was accepted into the renowned flute class of Sophie Cherrier with the support of Vincent Lucas at the Paris Conservatoire CNSMDP. Leona pursued her curiosity for different musical expressions in masterclasses and courses with recognised flutists such as Emmanuel Pahud, Philippe Bernold, Gudrun Hinze, Michael Martin Kofler, Walter Auer and Jasmine Choi. She has also received further artistic inspiration for her chamber music work from instrumentalists such as Michel Moragues, Stefan Schilli, Radovan Vlatkovic, Cibràn Sierra-Vasquez and Stephen Fitzpatrick. Her high regard for contemporary music is reflected in numerous world premieres and compositions written for her. In June 2023, she played the work ‘postcards’ by French composer Henry Fourès as part of a portrait concert in honour of the composer. The Austrian flautist, winner of the Bruno Gironcoli Prize, is characterised by a broad spectrum of tonal colours and a great willingness to experiment. She loves to create new concert formats and collaborates with various artists from different disciplines and artistic fields. Listen here!
