The Musikgymnasium Wien (officially: Realgymnasium and Oberstufenrealgymnasium with special consideration of musical education for music students ) is a Realgymnasium and Oberstufenrealgymnasium that is run as a music high school . It is located at Neustiftgasse 95-99 in Vienna's seventh district, Neubau .

history

The school was founded in 1964 under the direction of Hans Zwölfer as part of a school trial as an upper-level secondary school with a focus on music in Wasagasse 10. In 1975 the school moved to its current address in Neustiftgasse 95-99. In 1994 the lower level was also introduced.

The school building

The school is housed in a listed building at Wiener Neustiftgasse 95-99, which was built in 1873 according to plans by the architect Sattler. From 1874 to 1968 it housed the Schottenfelder Realschule . A federal vocational education institute and the music high school are now housed here. The building is built in the forms of the New Vienna Renaissance and has a strictly historicist facade that is supposed to be reminiscent of a palace . On the main floors there is a gabled central projection with a half-column structure. The vestibule with the staircase is a two-aisled foyer with columns and pilasters in the Tuscan style.

School profile

The Musikgymnasium Wien supports musically gifted students in their musical training in singing and on musical instruments. This creates the basis for studying concert at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna or at a conservatory with public rights. Intensive practice times for the respective instrument are provided in the timetable of the Musikgymnasium Wien.

“In order to be able to attend school, every candidate must pass an aptitude test in which musical ability is tested. The students play a rehearsed piece with an instrument of their choice. It gets really difficult when you are given someone else's sheet of music from which you have to spontaneously sing the melody. "

The Vienna Philharmonic have sponsored the school.

Soloists such as Daniel Auner performed with the orchestra of the Vienna Music High School .

Music festival

The Vienna Musikgymnasium organizes an annual music festival at which the orchestra of the Musikgymnasium and the lower and upper school choirs play music together. It takes place annually in the Golden Hall of the Wiener Musikverein or in the great hall of the Wiener Konzerthaus . The music festival is usually organized by teachers from the Vienna Music School. However, the Musikgymnasium Wien tries to hire guest conductors. In 2010 they won Fabio Luisi , with Guido Mancusi (2016) and Nazanin Aghakhani (2018, as the first female conductor), former students conducted . The new version of the Lés Miserables Symphonic Suite by John Cameron was premiered during the 2019 Music Festival. The 2020 music festival was conducted by Manfred Honeck .

In addition, on October 19, 2014, to mark the 50th anniversary of the Vienna Music School, a festive matinee took place in the Vienna State Opera , where students and graduates performed together under the baton of Christian Thielemann .
