Universität Mozarteum Salzburg (MOZARTEUM)

Universität Mozarteum Salzburg, Mirabellplatz 1, A - 5020 Salzburg, Austria
3.84 / 5 based on 6 reviews.
Description:
Today the University of Music and Drama "Mozarteum" in Salzburg, like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), has a global reputation. The history and development of the "Mozarteum" are closely related to the musical genius of Mozart and the City of Salzburg as a cultural centre. The establishment of this school of music goes back to 1841 when the Salzburg Cathedral's Music Society (Dom-Musik-Verein) founded the Mozarteum to "preserve in honour for all time the memory of Mozart" and to promote the instruction and performance of music.
