mdw great talent award
The mdw great talent award, established by Christian Zeller, was first awarded in autumn 2020 and in keeping with its motto “We offer support today to the stars of tomorrow” is devoted exclusively to students at the mdw in the areas of keyboard instruments, bowed and other stringed instruments, wind and percussion instruments, chamber music and special ensembles, voice and music theatre, and popular music. Performing experience and professionalism are fundamental requirements. The founder and benefactor Christian Zeller emphasises the importance of excellence and sustainability, which are the focal points of the activities of the Christian Zeller Privatstiftung, particularly for arts and culture: “When one thinks of excellence in the area of culture, one can’t help but think of Austria—and the mdw plays a crucial role in this regard.”
