Andreas Scholl is one of the best and most renowned countertenors in the world. A conversation about his endowed professorship at the University Mozarteum Salzburg, his musical roots and the very special moments of his career.
The 1st prize in the piano division (Bösendorfer Prize), the "Audiodata Audience Award" and the special prize for the best interpretation of a work by Wolfgang A. Mozart went to the Austrian Elisabeth Waglechner, who studies with Stefan Vladar at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna, where she was accepted into the highly gifted course with Alma Sauer at the age of 12 and studied with Christopher Hinterhuber.
The management of the Mozarteum University has succeeded in acquiring an endowed professorship for the first time. This is an entirely externally financed university professorship in violin awarded to an internationally outstanding artistic personality. Maxim Vengerov, one of the world's most celebrated violinists, is coming to Salzburg to work at the Mozarteum University for three years from the beginning of the winter semester 2019/20. The public is invited to experience his masterclasses on October 14, 2019 in the Solitär and on December 9, 2019 in the Great Hall of the Mozarteum Foundation.
The 13th International Mozart Competition of the University Mozarteum Salzburg came to an end with the final concert of the vocal section on February 15 in the Great Hall of the Mozarteum Foundation. The 1st prize of 15,000 euros, donated by the International Salzburg Association, went to the soprano Anna ElKhashem.
Within the Mozarteum, the Werkstatt-Akademie addresses students of composition, conducting and interpretation (instrument, voice). Through intensive cooperation with the Austrian Ensemble for New Music (oenm), competences and experiences are brought into the teaching which are not (yet) available in this concentration at the Mozarteum. We expect a strengthening of competences in the field of New Music for the composers, conductors and interpreters studying at the Mozarteum.
