Open Concert - participatory concert: A 24-hour concert to listen, play along & experience

Five finalists competed for the coveted 20,000 euro The Sir Ian Stoutzker Prize 2022 (made up from 2021) at the Solitaire of the Mozarteum University yesterday (14 April). The evening's double winner was pianist Robert Bily, who enchanted both the high-calibre jury and the audience with a breathtaking interpretation of Ludwig van Beethoven's Waldstein Sonata (Piano Sonata No. 21 in C major op. 53), Claude Debussy's Images I and Siegfried Thiele's Perpetuum Mobile.

Every year, the Ruhr Piano Festival honours artists whose life's work is closely connected to the festival with its prize. The duo Yaara Tal & Andreas Groethuysen played their 17th concert at the Ruhr Piano Festival on 8 July 2023. The "desire for shared sound" characterises each of their performances, for which they often put together special programmes for the Piano Festival.

Application until 7 May: The competition was launched by the Mozarteum University in 2015 and is aimed at young musicians under the age of 23. It focuses on their virtuosity, their understanding and their interpretation of classical music. The orchestra of the competition is the Salzburg Chamber Soloists.

The U.S. pianist and organist Daniel Walter Chorzempa was university professor of organ at the University Mozarteum Salzburg from 1994 to 2013. He passed away in Florence on March 25, 2023.

Intensive one-week master classes with 53 renowned, top-class artists and teachers from the Mozarteum University and the international music industry, numerous public concerts and a colorful supporting program: from July 17 to August 12, the International Summer Academy will once again open its doors. It has evolved visually, but above all in terms of content.

After four intensive weeks with 520 participants from 51 nations, 51 master classes and 16 additional courses with a focus on musicians' health as well as around 60 public events, the International Summer Academy 2023 came to an end last week with much positive feedback. Twelve young artists were also awarded prizes of 1,000 euros each, sponsored by the Cultural Fund of the City of Salzburg.
