FESTIVAL | MaiMusik | 13.-15.05.2022

We’re kicking off early summer in Vienna with a whole host of musical events. The Institute for Early Music, the newest institute at the mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts, is presenting a wide variety of programmes featuring music from the 16th to the 19th centuries at various venues across the city.
There’s plenty to discover! The concerts feature a number of works and arrangements that are either completely unknown or rarely heard. As an institute, we are particularly keen to promote lesser-known Viennese music that is linked to the city’s history. That said, we also ensure that the highlights of the Baroque era are given their due; Handel and Bach therefore feature on the programme alongside Froberger, Bononcini, Hummel and Marianna Martines.

We are delighted that some of the festival’s projects have been developed in collaboration with other departments at the university, and we would like to thank the students and our colleagues very much for their commitment to making MaiMusik 2022 a reality.

To you, our dear audience, we wish you a wonderful time enjoying good music and hope you have great fun rediscovering early music!
