Our students Vivi Vassileva and Richard Putz are the winners of this year's Prix Iannis Xenakis. The prize, established by the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival in cooperation with the percussion class on the initiative of Martin Grubinger, promotes young percussion soloists and is intended to pave the way to the major concert halls and international music festivals. The participants had to conceive an extensive solo recital concert and present it in front of a 6-person jury.

Since the 2016/2017 academic year, the Mozarteum University has been awarding the "Prize for Excellent Master's Theses", which recognizes outstanding theses by graduates who address their chosen topics in an innovative, original, unusual or particularly sustainably relevant way.

This year's Opus Klassik in the category "Instrumentalist of the Year" goes to Mozarteum professor Dorothee Oberlinger - for her recording "Night Music" with the Sonatori de la Gioiosa Marca (dhm/Sony Music). The OPUS KLASSIK is the successor prize to the ECHO, which the recorder virtuoso has already won three times since 2008.
