On March 5, ARCOENSEMBLE will present five world premieres as part of the concert “sinews and flesh.” The ensemble's pianist and Mozarteum University alumna Alba Llorach Roca and young composer Yannai Schrire talk in an interview about what makes contemporary music so special, the intensive collaboration between instrumentalists and composers during rehearsals, and give us an insight into the creative process behind their own compositions.

Cycles, Seasons, Sounds of the Future: November sees the second staging on the interdisciplinary ORA – Original Sound Festival at the Mozarteum University Salzburg.

Tina Geroldinger, a young Austrian composer, and Maurycy Hartman, clarinettist and founding member of the Ensemble for Contemporary Music, in conversation about the new ensemble, opportunities and possibilities for contemporary music in the current music world and about special moments that arise when people engage intensively with each other musically.

As part of the Moz-Art-Zone, we link special events for school classes to the broad spectrum of university programmes and thus want to give children and young people access to music, art and culture. The focus is on young people meeting (young) artists who offer an insight into the artistic work of the various departments at the Mozarteum University. The Moz-Art-Zone offers a colourful mix of activities, from a visit to the opera with an artist talk and theatre laboratory to special educational concerts and hands-on workshops in the graphics workshop.
