Schönberg at the Leopold
Arnold Schönberg’s aesthetic positions at the epoch threshold between finite romanticism and emancipation of dissonance are thematized in a section of the “Vienna 1900. Birth of Modernism” exhibit at the Leopold Museum (starting March 16, 2019). Schönberg’s paintings are on view in Vienna on a larger scale for the first time in 14 years as part of this exceptional show.
3rd Composition Workshop for Young Composers
Following two previous successful composition workshops which showed the great compositional potential of young people, the Arnold Schönberg Center, in collaboration with Helmut Schmidinger (composer and visiting professor for composition at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz), again invites six young composers between the age of 12 and 18 years old to come to Vienna. The third Composition Workshop (2019/2020) will be dedicated to the classical string quartet setting.

Musical sketches, concert appointments, assorted thoughts, addresses, outlines of lectures and essays to be written, theater and moving picture showings, train schedules, travel packing lists, lessons to be taught, meetings, reminders for special days, ideas for suitable birthday gifts, doodles while on the phone, shopping lists: the varied combination of events, encounters and planned projects in Arnold Schönberg’s life is visible from the entries in his diary.
