INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE IN THE LAND OF MUSIC
We invite students and music lovers to take the opportunity to get experience and knowledge about Austrian Music and Culture by showing this in a personal performance at our Austrian Music Education. Studying Austrian music and culture should be intercultural learning, which considers the engagement with the own culture, traditions and actual habits. In this way, this kind of education should be open to an international exchange between different cultures, especially between East Asia and Europe.
