Founded in 1780 by Leopold Mozart, father of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, it initially functioned as a musical academy for children. While evolving over centuries, it remains deeply connected to Mozart’s legacy. The current Mozarteum University Salzburg is one of Austria’s leading music universities, offering comprehensive education in performance, composition, pedagogy and research. The Mozarteum Foundation also manages several historic buildings associated with the Mozart family and hosts numerous concerts and events throughout the year within Salzburg, including performances in the historic concert halls bearing its name.
