A pleasant experience in the Salzkammergut
In June/July 1921 Arnold Schönberg was the victim of anti-Semitic persecution in the Salzburg holiday resort Mattsee, where the district authorities had issued local landlords with an notice “containing the request to keep Mattsee ‘free of Jews’ this year, as in the previous year” (Salzburger Chronik, July 5, 1921).

3rd Composition Workshop for Young Composers
Following two previous successful composition workshops which showed the great compositional potential of young people, the Arnold Schönberg Center, in collaboration with Helmut Schmidinger (composer and visiting professor for composition at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz), again invites six young composers between the age of 12 and 18 years old to come to Vienna. The third Composition Workshop (2019/2020) will be dedicated to the classical string quartet setting.
