Alle Neun 2026: Austria’s Music Universities Showcase Diversity – with Contributions from JAM MUSIC LAB Vienna
At this year’s edition of “Alle Neun,” all nine Austrian music universities and conservatories once again came together on one stage: JAM MUSIC LAB Private University Vienna, mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, MUK – Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna, Mozarteum Salzburg, Anton Bruckner Private University Linz, University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, Gustav Mahler Private University for Music, Stella Vorarlberg Private University College of Music, and Joseph Haydn Private University Eisenstadt.
The 2026 edition was hosted by the Stella Vorarlberg Private University College of Music in Feldkirch. Over the course of one evening, students from all institutions presented a diverse program reflecting the breadth of Austria’s music education landscape. Austrian national broadcaster Ö1 was once again present, covering the event live.
JAM MUSIC LAB Private University Vienna: Focus on Media Music
JAM MUSIC LAB Private University Vienna contributed projects from the field of media music. The students Volodymyr Mazurika and Morvarid Tahmasebi presented works combining music with visual and digital elements, including compositions for film and gaming as well as audiovisual performances.
These contributions reflected a strong connection between artistic practice and current developments in the creative industries. The integration of technology into musical creation was a defining aspect of the JAM presentations.
A Wide Spectrum: From Early Music to Media Performance
The program in general featured a broad stylistic range: from solo harp and vocal ensembles to larger wind formations. Musically, it spanned early music, classical and contemporary repertoire, jazz, improvised music, and current formats in media and gaming. This diversity highlighted the openness of music education in Austria toward new forms and interdisciplinary approaches.
Ö1 as Media Partner
The involvement of Ö1 once again provided an important platform for the event. Through its live coverage, the performances reached audiences beyond the venue, increasing the visibility of the students’ work across Austria.
