Event calendarAufspiel 2017
Multiple Stages Come Alive with Music, Drama, and Film
On 15 June 2017, in celebration of the mdw's 200th birthday, the university will present itself across the entire ensemble of performing arts institutions on Lothringerstraße: in all the halls and foyers of the Vienna Konzerthaus, in the university's own spaces, and at the Akademietheater.
Star conductor Franz Welser-Möst will conduct the mdw's Webern Symphony Orchestra in Mendelssohn's Fourth Symphony, and the soprano and mdw graduate Elisabeth Kulman will perform her solo programme La femme c'est moi. What's more, Willi Resetarits will join forces with the band of the mdw's Department of Popular Music in a programme put together specifically for this evening, and the brass formation Mnozil Brass – whose members also studied at the mdw – will leave no doubts about why they've become so well-known.

There are voices welcoming you tonight.
There are voices accompanying and seducing you during the breakes.
There are voices telling stories in a composing, singing and performing way, as present becomes music history.
Composition and improvisation depend on each other. Vocal music and performance become musical concept art, being an essential part of representative-artistic events of the 21st century.
The 21 Vocal Games are an art-pedagogical co-operation of mdw students.
You will be surprised!
