The Platform for Historical Politics was established at the Mozarteum University Salzburg in 2024. As an open platform, it dedicates its research and educational activities to examining the recent past of the Mozarteum University Salzburg and invites all members of the university to contribute their support.

Establishing and developing the profile of an ensemble is one of the most demanding and, at the same time, most appealing challenges in artistic development. Many globally successful ensembles were formed during their studies, laying the foundation for an international chamber music career. However, existing study programmes alone can only provide limited incentives and framework conditions for this. The ensemble scholarship is the answer to this: convincing project proposals receive financial support for a period of one year to realise specific artistic projects.

Save the date: The Mozarteum University cordially invites you to experience Lisa Batiashvili (violin) and Claudio Martínez Mehner (piano) in person during a two-day masterclass. We are delighted to welcome these two outstanding musicians to the Mozarteum.

We warmly congratulate the winners of the first Vindobona Song Competition at the Mozarteum University, which took place from 15 to 17 December 2025. In addition to Quang Nguyen, a student of Bernd Valentin and Pauliina Tukiainen, who received the first prize of €6,000, Miriam Bitschnau was awarded the second prize of €3,000 and Gabija Utaraitė and Alice Dreier shared the third prize of €1,500. The prize of €2,000 for the most convincing student piano performance went to Miquel Esquinas.
