»10 Jahre Young Masters« Galakonzert

For ten years, the Young Masters Program has been supporting young talents at the mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and the Johann Sebastian Bach Music School (JSBM) on their individual paths to becoming professional musicians.
What emerges? Music that moves people, friendships that inspire – and ensembles that travel the world. Numerous concerts, intensive learning experiences, a variety of stages – all driven by a strong sense of community. This is precisely what will now be celebrated in the Schubert Hall with many diverse ensembles and alumni from the Young Masters Program!

Place

The Konzerthaus in Vienna (German: Wiener Konzerthaus) was opened 1913. It is situated in the third district just at the edge of the first district in Vienna. Since it was founded it has always tried to emphasise both tradition and innovative musical styles.

In 1890, the first ideas for a Haus für Musikfeste (House for music festivals) came about. The idea of the new multi-purpose building was to be more interesting to the broader public than the traditional Vienna Musikverein. In addition to the concert hall, the first drawings by Ludwig Baumann for the Olympion included an ice-skating area and a bicycle club. In an attached open air area, 40,000 visitors would be able to attend events. The drawings were not accepted. However, today an ice skating area is situated right next to the building.

The Konzerthaus was finally built between 1911 and 1913. The architects were Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer; the work was done in cooperation with Ludwig Baumann.
