About
The Institute for New Music offers students and teachers the opportunity to experience the entire spectrum of contemporary music:
Performers learn how to approach new music in both theory and practice, from the classical period of modernism to music of the present day.
The Ensemble for New Music at the Mozarteum works with students to develop the programmes of the Doppler Concert Series.
The composition classes develop their works in direct exchange with ensembles of students as well as with renowned experts.
World-class interpreters of New Music enrich the concert events at the Mozarteum with exclusive programmes.
Selected composers from Germany and abroad complement the educational programme with presentations and seminars.
A particular focus of the Institute for New Music is to initiate and promote activities that go beyond academic studies, presenting itself to the public with selected programmes and participating in international discourse with workshops, exchange programmes and other initiatives.
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.
After their first concert at the end of May, musical director Kai Röhrig and flautist Leona Rajakowitsch, founding members of the newly formed ensemble for contemporary music at the Mozarteum University, and composer Anna Skladannaya reflect on the potential and significance of new music - with a view to more to come.
