Vienna, a fascinating European capital, conveys a special atmosphere. It is known for waltzes, the blue Danube and beautiful buildings. The Imperial Palace, Spanish Riding School, concert halls, the Opera House, countless museums, splendid parks, and the Vienna Woods are part of its legacy. Music pervades Vienna everywhere. Cobblestoned, narrow streets and small hidden squares have the popular coffeehouses and pastry shops, small restaurants and special places that the Viennese love to visit.

The University of Vienna is centrally located in the Old Quarter on a spectacular boulevard. The University offers intensive German language courses on all levels and provides an opportunity to have direct contact with Austrian culture, folklore, and way of life.

The Wiener Meisterkurse, held at the Conservatory of Music of Vienna, offers music programs for talented and gifted young artists from all countries. Preparatory and Master Courses give artists the opportunity to receive instruction from internationally known teachers and leading artists, as well as to work out problems of their own artistic development.
