Nikolaus Harnoncourt Zentrum au sein de la Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität - Austria

The Nikolaus Harnoncourt Zentrum (NHZ) has set itself the task of making Harnoncourt's universe accessible to posterity by digitizing its archive, which has been built up over seven decades, and making it accessible to the public and inviting research and discussion. The goal is not only a musicological research center, but its unique selling point is reflected in its interdisciplinary work as a forum for education. The NHZ sees itself as a "torchbearer" of Harnoncourt's universal worlds of thought and dares to look at larger contexts of the development of the last centuries in order to venture an outlook on the future.

The Nikolaus Harnoncourt Center at the Anton Bruckner Private University will be opened by Landeshauptmann Mag. Thomas Stelzer in St. Georgen im Attergau on 3 May 2024, 1 pm! The celebrations include the opening of the exhibition Nikolaus and Alice Harnoncourt: "Music is a language" in the local music school and the first think tank. The exhibition, curated by Marie-Theres Arnbom, portrays the couple's life together with the pioneering journey of the community of explorers. It offers insights into Harnoncourt's working methods and his musical development. It is aimed at adults and children, amateurs and experts.
The exhibition will be on display in St. Georgen from May 3 to September 15 and will then move to the foyer of the Bruckner University in Linz from October 21 to December 6, 2024.
