Welcome to summer semester 2026

The Department of Composition Studies and Music Production wishes all staff and students a good start to the semester.


Ö1 Talentebörse Kompositionspreis goes to Reina Yoshioka

 

 

From the jury's statement (translated from German):

"In her music, Reina YOSHIOKA creates a virtuoso dialogue between high culture and popular culture. In doing so, she interweaves diverse temporal and cultural elements, transforming them into mysterious fantasy worlds. Her compositions reveal a complex sonic imagination. At the same time, the jury recognized a strong artistic foundation in her compositional craft. In Yoshioka’s work, instrumental mastery does not distort the artistic idea, but rather enhances her highly personal musical language.”


Congratulations!
