At the end of the summer semester 2021, students, teachers and external participants met at the Zistelalm on the Gaisberg to discuss the results and plans of the Spot On MozART project. We were there for you.

On 25 and 26 June 2021, the SZENE Salzburg will be the setting for one of the most popular choral works of the 20th century: Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana".

The game project "Black Day," which was created with young people from the NMS Lehen as part of the interdisciplinary artistic as well as cultural and media education research project schnitt # stellen, received a Prix Ars Electronica Award U14.

The rediscovery and revival of (choral) works of the Baroque are matters close to the heart of Jörn Hinnerk Andresen, who has been Professor of Choral Conducting at the Mozarteum University since fall 2019.

On February 3, 2021, the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena and the Mozarteum University in Salzburg launched a unique program: a series of master classes to deepen the study of Baroque music, beginning in the summer of 2021.

7 world premieres and all works composed by Mozart in 1791, the year of his death. This is the ambitious program that the newly founded Mozart Forum of the Mozarteum University has set itself for 2021, starting with a production of the opera "La clemenza di Tito," which will premiere on February 1 without an audience, but in a livestream.

Grenzklang is a project based in Tyrol and unique in the entire German-speaking region, which on the one hand offers children of Persian origin an opportunity to promote singing and music-making, while at the same time enabling a connection to their culture and being open to children of all nationalities as well as music of pluralistic cultures. On the other hand, Grenzklang is a practical training programme for future music teachers. This joint intercultural learning envisaged in the project ideally leads to an attitude of all participants, which is the basis for social progress and enables teaching and learning in diversity, equality and democracy. It thus functions as a model for further (music) pedagogical and intercultural offers. Synergy is an essential feature and Grenzklang contributes to strengthening the cultural identity of all participants.
