GREETINGS

aMADEUS Festival Vienna 2022

The diverse and high-quality musical life in our city contributes significantly to Vienna's reputation as a world cultural capital. This has a centuries-long tradition, especially in the field of classical music, which still inspires us today. People from all continents visit the renowned Viennese concert halls and opera houses and carry the "Viennese sound" into the whole world.

In order for future generations to be able to enjoy this internationally recognized musical quality in Vienna, first-class training facilities are needed for young musicians. An example of this is the widely recognized MUK – Music and Arts Private University of the City of Vienna. With the Music & Arts Academy at the AMADEUS International School Vienna, there is now a private, first-class educational facility that complements the music training facilities of the City of Vienna and is available to young musicians from all over the world.

This year's AMADEUS Festival Vienna is, so to speak, the showcase of these educational efforts. This year I'm particularly looking forward to the sounds of the famous Jacob Stainer violin from 1665 and, of course, to Angelika Kirchschlager's art of singing. I would like to thank the Goh family for their commitment to classical music in Vienna and wish them continued success!

Dr. Michael Ludwig

Mayor and Governor of Vienna

After the great start in 2021 I am very happy, that AMADEUS Festival Vienna comes back this year with the promise to start a festival-tradition in the heart of Währing. The Semmelweis area is the perfect environment for this summer festival with classical music on top-class level. The AMADEUS Festival Vienna is an enrichment for the neighborhood, the entire district and the city of Vienna. I wish the festival the attention it deserves – and I am sure: Whoever had the experience of enjoying music in that lovely area will come back!

Official Poster 2022

𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗚𝗼𝗵 has been the artist in charge of creating this colorful and vibrant artwork that will accompany us during this new edition of the Festival 2022. The idea behind the poster: Incorporating traditional aesthetics from Singapore (Batik) with an influence from European stained glass, this piece melds together imagery from nature and technology.
