Research and our own experience show that musical talents develop best in an environment that’s stimulating, inspiring, and built upon community. To this end, we need strong partnerships in various areas where we can join forces to offer top-notch enrichment.
We’re interested in all forms of collaboration and are constantly expanding our network. It would be great to hear from you—because our young musicians need all of us!
Cooperative Projects
Together with the Johann Sebastian Bach Music School, we’ve launched efforts including the Young Masters Programme – and every year sees us organise numerous projects for young talents from both institutions.
The Franz Schmidt Chamber Orchestra invites the mdw’s finest up-and-coming young talents to experience playing solo with a symphony orchestra led by Nicolas Radulescu in multiple concert series including “Musik im Recht” and “Musik am Ring”.
Partnerships
We’ve joined forces with the Bösendorfer Salon to create a concert series that features young pianists. These after-work concerts present multiple opportunities each year for young talents from the Programme for Gifted Children and the Preparatory Programme in Piano to introduce themselves to the Bösendorfer audience personally and artistically.
As part of this partnership, Jeunesse Wien is inviting selected ensembles from the mdw talent lab to perform at the Jeunesse Start up! Concerts in the Wiener Musikverein – further performance opportunities are in planning.
Musikverein Graz promotes our top advanced ensembles with valuable performance opportunities—including as part of the Musikverein’s chamber music series.
As part of the Young Master’s Programme, the Wiener Konzerthaus has created new concert formats for our Young Masters Ensemble.
Musikgymnasium Wien, a Viennese secondary school for young musicians, makes it possible for young people with a special interest in music to complete their schooling and prepare for university-level study in a way that affords them ample practice time.
The mdw offers children’s and youth master classes for winners of prizes at the competition “prima la musica” in collaboration with the competition’s supporting association Musik der Jugend and the Conference of Austrian Music School Associations (KOMU). These master classes take place annually at the mdw during the summer and winter breaks.
