The Music and Art Private University of the City of Vienna ( MUK ) is a state-run artistic training facility in Vienna . It was formerly called the Vienna Conservatory Private University (KWU, KONSuni) , the Vienna Conservatory (KONS) and the Vienna Conservatory, and was often referred to as the Vienna Conservatory .

General

The Music and Arts Private University offers courses for training in the fields of music and performing arts: music , musical theater , dance , musicals and drama . The range of courses now includes over 30 Bachelor and Master courses. It is the only university in Austria that offers full-time academic studies in early music and musical entertainment theater . The central task of the MUK is the development and opening up of the arts in the combination of research and teaching, whereby a comprehensive education of the individual personality of the students - annually there are a total of around 860 with 250 teachers - on the basis of extraordinary talent potential is of central importance. More than half of the students come from abroad. Approximately one fifth of the nearly one thousand annual applications are accepted. Since the university is largely financed by the City of Vienna, it has to designate itself as a private university under Austrian law, but it retains state status.

history

In spring 1938 the music school of the city of Vienna was founded. In November of the same year, after Radio Verkehrs AG (RAVAG) moved out, they moved into the newly adapted house at Johannesgasse 4a in Vienna's First District - the main building of the institution to this day. Lessons were resumed as early as May 1945 despite the devastating war damage to the building, and in November of the same year the building was constituted in a tripartite form as the city of Vienna's music schools, consisting of the music schools, the children's singing school and the Vienna Conservatory. This administrative unit existed as a branch of the Viennese magistrate from the end of the Second World War until August 31, 2004.

Since September 1, 2004, the Vienna Conservatory (of the City of Vienna) has been outsourced from the Vienna municipal administration and is run by a GmbH owned by the City of Vienna. On June 15, 2005, the institution was legally accredited as the first private art university in Vienna, and from then on was called the Vienna Conservatory Private University. After Ranko Markovic (artistic) and Gottfried Eisl (commercial) headed the institution from 2004 to 2014, Franz Patay was appointed rector of the university in 2014.

On November 3, 2015, the Conservatory Vienna Private University was renamed the Music and Art Private University of the City of Vienna (MUK).

Since 2016, the Acting Department has been an official member of the Standing Conference Acting Education (SKS) , which is made up of the most renowned state training institutions for actors in German-speaking countries. The acting department of the MUK has been the first newly established training center for 27 years.

In June 2018 it was announced that Andreas Mailath-Pokorny will succeed Franz Patay as Rector of the Music and Art University of the City of Vienna in September 2018 .
