Focus of Work: Salzburg Music History
Overview
From local presence to dimensions of international... Since its beginnings in the early Middle Ages, Salzburg's music history has been an example of the interplay between regionality and European networking. The research focus Salzburg Music History is dedicated to its development in the context of sources, reception and interpretation. Symposia, workshops and guided tours are organised, whereby the latter are not only aimed at a specialist audience, but also at a broad circle of interested parties in the sense of the Third Mission. Salzburg's "music turned to stone" (Hermann Bahr) is revived, researched, documented and made accessible in many ways: through publications, overviews of relevant sources and annual bibliographies of specialist literature relevant to the topic.
