The mdw recently brought to life its own Webern Kammerphilharmonie, a permanent university ensemble for future orchestral musicians looking to start their careers.
Since 2010, the mdw has been conferring its Best Publication Award on young researchers every three years to recognise outstanding dissertations written at the university.
Two graduates and a current student tell the mdw Magazine about their time at the mdw, how they deal with setbacks, and what success means to them personally.
