    14. International Mozart Competition of the Mozarteum University 
    News … Home News 14. International Mozart Competition of the Mozarteum University 14. International Mozart Competition of the Mozarteum University 22.01.2020 Press release Sandra Steindl © Christian Schneider The Mozart Competition of the Mozarteum University Salzburg from February 1 to 15, 2020 is one of the most important international music competitions - for many young musicians it gave and gives a decisive impulse to an international career. Under the artistic direction and jury chairmanship of Benjamin Schmid, Pavel Gililov and Hansjörg Angerer and the overall direction of Hannfried Lucke, it will be held in 2020 in the violin and piano sections and, for the first time, in the horn section. Commissioned by the University Mozarteum Salzburg, Florian Willeitner (violin), Krzysztof Meyer (piano) as well as Michael Kapsner (horn) composed pieces that will be premiered during the 2nd competition rounds. Since its premiere in 1975, the International Mozart Competition of the Mozarteum University Salzburg has been one of the major music competitions worldwide. It takes place in a biennial rhythm - in 2016 the focus was on violin and piano, in 2018 on string quartet and voice. in 2020, in addition to violin and piano, a competition for horn will be held for the first time. "Mozart wrote four important horn concertos, so this year we have also included this instrument," says Hannfried Lucke, Vice Rector for Arts at the University Mozarteum Salzburg. Highly endowed prizes await the first-place winners in all three categories, as well as numerous special prizes - 1st place is awarded 10,000 euros, 2nd place 7000 euros and 3rd place 5000 euros. Of the 182 applicants from 37 countries, 81 participants from 23 countries have been admitted to the 2020 competition - they will each face a top-class jury of seven. "The International Mozart Competition has a long tradition and history and is a flagship for the Mozarteum University and for Salzburg as a location. It has been established over the years in order to make the Mozart genius loci visible to the outside world," explains Hannfried Lucke. "My special thanks go to Benjamin Schmid, Pavel Gililov and Hansjörg Angerer, who have made themselves available as jury chairmen for this most important and largest competition of the University Mozarteum Salzburg." Mozart's works are special touchstones of technical ability and stylistic quality for the young musicians. They are naturally the focus of the Mozart Competition. The commissioned works that the candidates will interpret in the 2nd round were composed by violinist, composer and arranger Florian Willeitner ("To be Mozart or not to be"), by Polish composer, pianist, music theorist and university teacher Krzysztof Meyer ("Bagatelle for piano" ), and by German composer, organist, conductor and music educator Michael Kapsner ("Fa(n)FaRe for horn and piano").

    "Ian Stoutzker Prize in Memory Of Yehudi Menuhin" to Thomas Reif & David Eggert 
    News … Home News "Ian Stoutzker Prize in Memory Of Yehudi Menuhin" to Thomas Reif & David Eggert "Ian Stoutzker Prize in Memory Of Yehudi Menuhin" to Thomas Reif & David Eggert 27.01.2020 Press release Sandra Steindl In memory of violin virtuoso Yehudi Menuhin, the University Mozarteum Salzburg invites you to a special event on January 27, 2012 - the awarding of the "Ian Stoutzker Prize in Memory of Yehudi Menuhin" to violinist Thomas Reif (class Harald Herzl) and cellist David Eggert (class Clemens Hagen). The two "String Players of the Year" from the Mozarteum University will be honored at the event and will perform works from their repertoire (see above). The sponsor of the highly endowed award is the successful British businessman and philanthropist Ian Stoutzker, who was a friend of Yehudi Menuhin and founded the organization LIVE MUSIC NOW together with him in 1977. David Eggert is a Canadian cellist who combines an innovative approach to traditional repertoire with a determined commitment to contemporary musical creations. Solo performances in Europe and North America identify the Salzburg native as an emerging talent. David Eggert won among others the 1st prize and five special prizes at the International Cello Competition "Antonio Janigro" in Zagreb. At the  Naumburg Cello Competition in New York he was awarded an honorary prize. Thomas Reif, violinist from Rosenheim, has been a regular participant in master classes and a young student at the Mozarteum University since 2004, initially with Bruno Steinschaden and from 2005 with Harald Herzl. In 2006 he was accepted by the Leopold Mozart Institute for the Promotion of High Talent. Thomas Reif has already received several prizes at music competitions, including 1st prize at the International Johannes Brahms Competition in Pörtschach, 1st prize at the Mozarteum's Ruggiero Ricci Competition and 2nd prize at the European Competition for Young Violin Students in Gorizia.

    "Opera Out Of Opera" as a guest at Europark Salzburg 
    News … Home News "Opera Out Of Opera" as a guest at Europark Salzburg Opera Out Of Opera as a guest at Europark Salzburg 17.02.2020 Press release What do Fiumicino Airport in Rome, the beach of Paralía Palaiou Falhrou Mpatis in Athens, the Spanish city of Pamplona and Europark Salzburg have in common? They form the backdrops of "Opera out of Opera" - a Europe-wide, interactive live concert format that puts opera right in the middle of people's colorful everyday lives. Opera out of Opera Where Europark Salzburg When March 7, 2020, 3:30 p.m. Artistic Director Mario Díaz Orchestra : Symphony Orchestra of the University Mozarteum Salzburg With Ayse Senogul (soprano), Nutthaporn Thammathi (tenor) and guests Mozart or Rossini instead? With an app accompanying the concert, the audience can vote en passant live on the program and find out about composers and their works. On Saturday, March 7 at 3:30 p.m., the young musicians from five countries will make a stop at Europark Salzburg. Audience development 2.0 for opera Dusty and elitist - opera away from the classical cultural scene sometimes has to contend with these prejudices, especially among younger generations. "Opera out of Opera," a transnational project of five European music institutes funded by Creative Europe, tackles precisely this issue: With an innovative concept - a mix of unusual performance venues, concert-accompanying interactive app, video wall as well as work abridgements through simplifications and medleys also in non-original language - it aims to inspire a new, young audience for opera. The first samples of the concept have already been seen at Fiumicino Airport in Rome, on the beach at Paralía Palaiou Falhrou Mpatis in Athens and in Pamplona. "The success was phenomenal, people were enthusiastic," said Mario Diaz of the University Mozarteum Salzburg. "We even managed to attract the attention of stressed travelers at the airport in Rome - not really terrain for opera at all - and make people linger and marvel. A busy airport hall was suddenly filled with great sounds, the atmosphere was unique." Accompanying voting app with background info To involve the audience in the performances and share knowledge about the composers, the works and the musicians, an "Opera out of Opera" app was specially developed for IOS and Android in German, English, Italian, Greek and Spanish. With this app, spectators can have a say in which pieces are performed via live voting. If the concert has already started, the app provides information in a live ticker about which piece of music is currently being performed. "In Rome, we first announced the project in a short speech and pointed out to also download the app and vote. It didn't take long before the spontaneous listeners were interactively in the middle of the concert action. And they stayed - listening, fascinated, spellbound, carried away from everyday life into another fantastic world full of sounding emotions, presented by young musicians for young people, but also across generations, of course, for everyone who enjoyed listening," says Mario Diaz. Project partners, musicians from five countries For the planning, coordination and implementation of "Opera out of Opera" five European music institutions have networked with each other: Under the leadership of Mario Diaz, the University Mozarteum Salzburg takes care of the overall artistic direction, the Conservatorio Santa Cecilia Rome acts as the main coordinator, the Chamber Opera Association of Navarra in Pamplona is responsible for the virtual design, live electronics and visuals, the Athens-based Art-On Petite Opera du Monde for the dramaturgy and the European Association of Conservatoires (EAC) in Brussels for marketing and communication. The musicians, students and alumni of the respective music institutes, also come from all five countries in a changing cast, while the opera singers are part of the fixed ensemble in each of the venues: Ayse Senogul (soprano) and Nutthaporn Thammathi (tenor) from the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, Désirée Giove (soprano), Giacomo Nanni (baritone), Chihiro Hachiya and Sang Jin Jang (bass) from the Conservatorio Santa Cecilia in Rome and from the Art-On Petite Opera du Monde in Athens Marita Paparizou (mezzo-soprano) and Antonis Koroneos (tenor). A project with a future After the end of the first project tour in Salzburg, all acquired data and reactions will be evaluated and analyzed by an external partner before the project "continues to go out into the world to inspire young people for classical music and opera through a new way and to enter unconventional spaces," says Diaz. A social contribution on an international, European level, with comrades-in-arms from all over the world, from different cultures and religions, burning for the one thing: music, a language that needs no words and that has the power to unite peoples and connect generations.

  • Wait with Tan Dun and rehearse tea …

    Wait with Tan Dun and rehearse tea … 
    News … Home News Wait with Tan Dun and rehearse tea … Wait with Tan Dun and rehearse tea 05.12.2020 News © Christian Schneider For his music to Ang Lee's wuxia drama "Tiger and Dragon," Chinese composer and conductor Tan Dun was awarded an Oscar in 2000. His opera "Tea: A Mirror of Soul" would have premiered on December 2 at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg. It is still uncertain whether it can be staged on December 19 in front of an audience or only in a livestream. Everything begins with a low A, with the dark, standing sound of the double basses, whose frequencies are reminiscent of mystical natural sounds. Then high-frequency waterphones, a shadow, a Tibetan singing bowl and suddenly, as if from the distant past, a voice, a melody. From a minimum of material, language, movement, opera are gradually formed - everything arises from little. Tan Dun works here like a magician of sound, whose magic reminds Kai Röhrig, Professor of Music Dramatic Design at the University Mozarteum Salzburg, of Richard Wagner's "Ring des Nibelungen," especially "Das Rheingold." "It begins at the bottom of the Rhine, and from this composed primal sound everything else emerges." The beginning draws one not only into Tan Dun's sound world, but immediately into the story: in a tea ceremony in ancient Kyoto, a monk drinks from an empty teacup and remembers his self ten years ago. In a kind of reenactment, the ceremony, the conscious experience of the ritual, acts as a trigger that confronts him with his painful memories. The tea ceremony has a high value in Asian culture. At the same time, it is associated with something social, sensual and philosophical. It forms the climax of an encounter and celebrates respectful togetherness, having to do with appreciation and mindfulness. "Our Asian students in particular flourish in the production because they can tell us something about the traditions of their homeland," says Kai Röhrig. "The opera is also extremely melodic and cantabile, reminiscent of works by Puccini, for example his ' Turandot ' or ' Madama Butterfly ' , both of which are also set in Asia. Opera voices who love Italian vocal music will feel at home with Tan Dun. More than that, Tan Dun's music has a stylistic openness and accessibility unusual for contemporary opera. He is a bridge builder of cultures. He wants to reach people and has great success in doing so. The subtitle ' A Mirror of Soul ' thus also applies to the music - one senses how students can draw from it and discover themselves in the process. That the ensemble has caught fire incredibly for this opera, of course, makes me very happy." Since the teaching content of the master's degree program in "Opera and Musical Theater" includes working on an opera production on stage with an orchestra and performing the opera in front of an audience as part of the master's examination, the university has made an immense security effort in recent months to make these study performances possible. "The university's rectorate and security management have been totally supportive from the beginning - all levers have been pulled to make sure we can teach our subjects despite Covid-19. It also makes you realize once again the complexity of making opera. It's about working on the voice, the language and the expression, and at the same time bringing all these aspects together in cooperation. An opera production cannot be realized online. It can simply only be done in analog and in presence. So in addition to the lack of an audience, the opera and theater industry is currently also suffering from the limitations in its day-to-day work," Kai Röhrig sums up. Following the example of the Salzburg Festival, the entire team and ensemble were tested weekly until the second lockdown, and contact persons had to interrupt rehearsals for 10 days. So far, there has been no positive case in the ensemble. "We have hope that we will be able to rehearse again from December 7 and have the premieres of the two casts on December 19 and 20. If it has to be without an audience, the performances will at least be recorded and shown as online premieres on the university's website on December 22 and January 6 at 7 pm. We would then have had only a three-week interruption, and the ensemble would be able to resume rehearsals rested and focused, and return to the opera stage. Above all, for the participants, all the budding singers and the symphony orchestra of the Mozarteum University Salzburg, I would wish that 'Tea' could actually be performed and reach many audiences*. The students have invested a lot of time, heart and soul and above all discipline in this project - also with regard to minimizing their social contacts during the rehearsal period," says Kai Röhrig. Until then, Tan Dun says, we'll have to wait and see. To the production Tan Dun: Tea - A Mirror of Soul 19.12.2020 Tan Dun: Tea - A Mirror of Soul  Opera production
