ABOUT
Andreas Vierziger is a music curator and strategic consultant based in Vienna.
Rooted in classical music, his work extends into institutional strategy, film and projects across other cultural fields.
Andreas approaches classical music from a personal perspective, questioning established conventions and considering how music can be shaped, presented and placed in new contexts. His work moves between curation, artistic concepts and strategy, often connecting musical ideas with other cultural fields.
Before developing his independent practice, Andreas worked in international artist management, representing classical musicians and working closely with orchestras, festivals, concert presenters, agencies and record labels across Europe and beyond.
Born in Salzburg, he studied Musicology, Theatre, Film and Media Studies, and Arts Management at the University of Vienna, with further studies at Fudan University in Shanghai, Peking University in Beijing and the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. Alongside his artistic work and education, he is a licensed business consultant in Austria. He was a Cultural Innovator Fellow of the Salzburg Global Seminar and a Fellow of the International Society for the Performing Arts (ISPA) in New York.
Andreas has held institutional and advisory roles including the Board of Directors of Camerata Salzburg and the Advisory Board of Ricordi Berlin. He has been a jury member of the German Record Critics’ Award for several years and has served on juries of more than 40 international music competitions across Europe, Asia and the United States. Selected juries include the International Johannes Brahms Competition, Szymanowski Competition and Isang Yun Competition.
His academic and professional interests include curatorial practice, alternative performance concepts, artistic positioning, music management, social impact and responsibility through arts and culture, and the changing role of classical music within contemporary culture. Particular interests include the relationships between music and other disciplines and the ways artistic ideas, institutions and cultural contexts interact.
He has held lecturing positions at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and Mozarteum University Salzburg and has been invited for lectures, seminars and workshops by institutions including the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, Zurich University of the Arts, Tokyo College of Music, Tokyo University of the Arts, Mahidol University in Bangkok, BOZAR in Brussels, Royal Danish Academy of Music, Royal College of Music in Stockholm, Sciences Po in Paris and Paris-Sorbonne.
