OUR UNESCO-WORLD HERITAGE REGION

The landscapes charm, the special air quality and all the sports-, recreation- and relaxation facilities have turned our region into an internationally known tourist destination. It is part of the philosophy of our masterclasses to involve experiences and activties in our mountains and lakes to our work. We also visit important places of cultural interest, e.g. the 7000 years old picturesque town of Hallstatt or the summer mansion of Emperor Franz Josef and Empress Sissy in Bad Ischl. Various projects and making music in appealing sceneries are inspiration for new musical ideas.

MASTERCLASSES INSPIRED BY MUSIC, ARTS, LITERATURE, PAINTING, ARCHITECTURE AND PHILOSOPHY

Our AME-Masterclasses are also inspired by different arts, like literature, painting, and architecture or philosophy. Taking this into consideration it is a big chance to create educational processes to facilitate an aesthetic experience of ordering interconnections between the different arts and music from the famous dynasties in the old time to the famous periods of classic time of the well-known composers up to the musical and cultural needs of our modern society.


ARTISTS IN THE REGION OF SALZKAMMERGUT

It’s probably the astonishing scenery of the Salzkammergut region, with its pristine lakes and the awesome mountains, that inspired famous musicians to compose great music.

Great artists like Brahms, Bruckner, Mahler or Strauss used to come over and over again, flattered by the beauty of this unique landscape, also declared an UNESCO world heritage place, and composed operas, that count to the worlds greatest repertoire of classical music until now!

No wonder that music is still central to the people living there!
