On the Trail of Schönberg
The music education program for school classes
With the music-educational offering “On the Trail of Schönberg”, the Arnold Schönberg Center invites school groups to get to know the composer and his work directly, personally, and through the senses. In workshops filled with anecdotes and biographical details, children and teens can come to know the person Arnold Schönberg and the secrets of his work, all of which is wonderfully complemented with stories from his own children Nuria, Ronald, and Lawrence.
The free workshops are offered at the Arnold Schönberg Center, at the Schönberg House Mödling, and throughout Austria (outside Vienna) in 2025 in cooperation with partners such as Jeunesse and Superar in schools, music schools, etc.
Starting from interactive engagement with one of Schönberg’s photo albums, the children become active in a composition workshop and apply themselves with the ingenuity of Schönberg to the design of an exhibition. Access to Schönberg’s multifaceted artistic personality emerges gradually through his music and painting.
