About

Andreas Vierziger approaches classical music from a personal angle re-thinking established constructs and shaping them in a contemporary way. His work focusses primarily on curation, artistic content and concepts, strategy and on their neglected contact points. In addition to his work and education on the artistic side, he holds a license for business consulting.

His clients, projects and collaborators range from classical music festivals, presenters, festivals, orchestras and record labels to various other organizazions in the fields of education, music, the arts and other genres and disciplines.

As a former artist manager, Andreas Vierziger worked for a range of high-profile classical music artists - including a number of Grammy winners - and regularly collaborated with leading orchestras, festivals and concert presenters across Europe and beyond. He served on the board of directors of the Camerata Salzburg and currently is on board of the jury of the German Record Critics' Award.

Born in Salzburg, he studied Theatre, Film and Media Studies as well as Musicology and Arts Management at the University of Vienna. He attended programs at the Fudan University in Shanghai, the Beijing University and the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki.

He has been a jury member at close to 30 international music competitions including the International Johannes Brahms Competition/Austria, Fulbright Concerto Competition/USA, New York Concert Artist Auditions, Mieczysław Wajnberg International Violin Competition/Poland, Karol Szymanowski International Music Competition/Poland and several others.

On the theoretical side, Andreas Vierziger focuses on alternative performance concepts in classical music, on social impact and social responsibility through the arts and culture, on music management, on brand building and positioning as well as on collaborations between music and other disciplines.
