The concept of “cultural mobility” expands our understanding of art and culture by conceiving the mobility of people in geographical, social, and cultural spaces as well as the products of their creativity within a dynamic network of relationships. Lectures at this symposium will address these topics as they relate to Ernst Krenek, Arnold Schönberg, and their contemporaries, as well as their historical, geographical, and cultural spheres of activity.

The Symposium will be streamed live on YouTube and will be available for seven days afterwards.

Cooperation Ernst-Krenek-Institut and Arnold Schönberg Center
