Almanac of the Mozarteum University - Academic Year 2016/17

Where talent becomes excellence. We have committed ourselves to this principle with the establishment of our mission statement in the past academic year. How successful we are with this is shown by our students every day, presenting themselves with their skills in over concerts, exhibitions, performances and other formats. It is a confirmation to us that the Salzburg population shows such great interest in our events . The city of Salzburg also offers our students an international audience - not least through the Salzburg Festival - in front of which they can prove themselves. The enormous productivity of our university is also demonstrated by the numerous prizes and  awards that students and teachers have received, as well as by the rich range of published CD and book publications. Dedicated to the 175th anniversary of the Mozarteum was the first of four volumes on the history of the Mozarteum University, which was presented in June 2017 . A university of the arts like ours lives above all through outstanding teachers, and so we look back with pride on the fact that since the beginning of our interim rectorate in January 2017 we have, among other things, made twelve appointments and have been able to attract fantastic professors to the Mozarteum University (among them nine women!). 

This almanac, which continues the tradition of annual reports, provides you - in addition to the intellectual capital statement - with all the facts and figures about our university. The new design should please the eye and entice you to immerse yourself - or find yourself - in the activities of our university.

- Sarah Wedl-Wilson, Interim Rector
