Excursion to Vienna in May 2025 (application deadline: 15.01.2025)

The six-day excursion to Vienna offers 15 students from Kassel University to explore Vienna, the so-called “city music”, as a multi-layered urban space with simultaneous musical practices. A cooperation with the Chair of Ethnomusicology at the University of Vienna provides insights into ongoing ethnomusicological research projects, supplemented by expeditions through local musical scenes and visits to leading museums and archives at the interface of Historical Musicology and Ethnomusicology. This field trip is funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the Department of Music at the University of Kassel and funds from the Chair of Historical Musicology. It opens up an intradisciplinary perspective on music, its practice and history in one of Europe's hot spots of musical culture.

Application deadline: January 15, 2025
Details on the application modalities are circulated by mail and notice at the Department of Music and are also available upon request by e-mail to krahn[at]uni-kassel[dot]de.
