We can talk about the economy - but it is people who negotiate and transact idea. Welcome to our family of globally competent individuals - making the right connections, mastering the right topics. "All mankind is born alike, but it is the education they receive, which distinguishes them."

The Salzburg Urstein Institut renders Europe's knowledge and conveys competencies that are required in this globalized world of ours. We all talk about the economy, but in the end, it is always people that exchange ideas and negotiate. The power of innovation of the last 800 years is the source of Europe's strength. The dynamics of the second world are based on this European culture. The Salzburg Urstein Institut imparts the skill to live this innovative culture and master future challenges with it. The world is one big village, and it is our responsibility to actively prepare ourselves and future generations to cross-cultural boundaries to understand, experience, and make use of what we can learn from each other. With the founding of our Institutions in Salzburg and Berlin, we try to approach this topic from a European perspective, leaving the culturally engrained European path of exclusiveness to pass on the knowledge and skills necessary for future success. We also leave the path of separation between academics, and business Europe has tended walking on for a while, reconnecting the value chain of innovation at its most challenging interface. Understanding the idea of the individual at its core and each of our positions in the setup of societies, cultures, and humanity itself, our least common denominator remains the responsibility we have for each other, our children, and our surroundings. It is the most significant success to have achieved something based on responsible, conscious actions.

The history of the Mozarteum University goes back to the year 1841 and is characterised by the work and teaching of outstanding personalities such as Bernhard Paumgartner, Clemens Krauss, Paul Hindemith, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Carl Orff and Sándor Végh. The Mozarteum School of Music was founded by the Salzburg Cathedral Music Association. In 1914 it became a conservatory, in 1953 an academy, in 1970 a Hochschule of music and performing arts and finally, in 1998, a university. The Mozarteum University fosters international relations with associated music and art academies by means of an international exchange of lectures and students, scholarship programmes, exchange concerts and mutual projects. Students and lectures engage in joint artistic activities as an integral part of the course program. They perform in public in several concerts, plays, dance, and opera productions, as well as participation in exhibitions, thereby enriching cultural life in Salzburg. Besides intensive studies in an arts-friendly environment, networks are created here for later professional careers. The UNIVERSITY MOZARTEUM SALZBURG In 1841, to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Wolfgang Amadé Mozart, a group of middle-class citizens founded the Cathedral Music Association and the Mozarteum. With this they intended to give added momentum to musical life in Salzburg by organising concerts, and also they wanted to ensure that there were enough young instrumentalists for the church services in Salzburg Cathedral. In 1870 the International Mozarteum Foundation was founded to encourage young talented musicians, and in 1881 it took over the Mozarteum Public Music School. In 1914 the Mozarteum was recognised as a Conservatory under public law in 1922 it was nationalised for financial reasons, and in 1939 it was transformed into the Reichshochschule Mozarteum. At the end of the Second World War the Mozarteum was temporarily continued under the title ‘Music High School’. In 1953 the Music High School became an academy and from 1970 it was known as the Mozarteum Academy of Music and Performing Art in Salzburg. In 1998, as a result of the reform of Austrian universities, the former academy of music became the now renowned Universität Mozarteum Salzburg. The Mozarteum University at Mirabellplatz 1 houses under one roof all the artistic departments concerned with musical training at the Mozarteum University: conducting, composition and music theory, keyboard instruments, string and plucked instruments, wind and percussion instruments, music-theatre with a large opera studio, as well as musicology and music educational theory. Architecturally the New Mozarteum - built by Architect Robert Rechenauer in 2006 - opens out towards the city, large glass foyers invite Salzburgers and guests to pay a visit. The chamber music hall is the Solitär, the Large Studio, and the smaller function rooms make the New Mozarteum a new, young, creative, and high-quality cultural center in Salzburg. The function rooms can also be hired. In 1979 the Mozarteum Academy, as it was then, moved from the Schwarzstrasse into the newly renovated palace of the prince-archbishop Paris Lodron. Wolfgang Amadé Mozart was allegedly a guest in that house and also gave concerts there. In the spring of 2004, as the winner of an international competition, the Munich architect Robert Rechenauer and his office began work on the general renovation of the building. In Mozart Year 2006 it was finally opened with great success. The Students’ Union at the Mozarteum represents the concerns and interests of the students in matters related to the university and state authorities. It has the necessary infrastructure and legal expertise so as to be able to solve the problems of individual students as well as representing the general needs of students in dealings with the authorities. The aims of the instrumental courses at the Universität Mozarteum Salzburg are for students to achieve artistic maturity and independence, the ability to reflect critically and evaluate their own abilities, to achieve artistic and scientific skills so as to be able to analyse musical works of art from all epochs, the ability to carry out a profession, the ability to fulfil artistic, educational and organisational tasks with a cultural dimension.
