Music on television has come in various guises over the last 50 years. It was already part of the programme mix in the very beginnings and is still around, reaching millions – at any rate more people than those experiencing music in opera houses, concert halls or other venues.

Television has been instrumental in popularizing music, preserving precious moments of music making and helping to create music andperformances which would not exist without it…

The DVD has been released in August 2012.

shape this paradigmatic process of transformation rather than suffer from its effects.“ Today, more than half of the world population lives in cities. A development putting enormous pressure on cities as complex, self-generating environments. In order to accommodate this global tendency, new concepts are needed that address the overall process of knowledge production in society. Especially art universities are predestined to formulate these new, distinct perspectives on the inherent logic of cities and the corresponding dynamics of their processes.

Thus the University of Applied Arts Vienna and the Konservatorium Wien University have implemented a new master degree programme dedicated to challenges that emerge within urban social systems and the broad spectrum of related issues. The objective is to integrate diverse disciplinary expertise when dealing with the complexity of urban systems.
