The University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, also known as Kunstuniversität Graz (KUG) is an Austrian university. Its roots can be traced back to the music school of the '' Akademischer Musikverein'' founded in 1816, making it the oldest university of music in Austria.


History

In 1963 the

of the Province of Styria was elevated to an Austrian state institution – the ''Academy of Music and Performing Arts in Graz''. Its president (1963–1971) was Erich Marckhl. As a result of the 1970 Kunsthochschulorganisationsgesetz niversities of the Arts Organisation Actthe academy became the ''Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Graz''. Friedrich Korcak was appointed as the first rector in 1971. A concert series was set up as early as 1982, in collaboration with the ''Association of Friends of the Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst Graz'', which at the time include three different series: the main concert series, abo@MUMUTH and the concert series for young audiences. In 1983, KUG (at that time still a Hochschule) was granted the authority to award degrees. The first doctoral degree programme was offered in 1986, and the first

was held on 21 June 1991. KUG received its current name in 1998, when the Federal Act on Organisation of Universities of the Arts (KUOG 98) came into effect and all Austrian art academies were renamed "universities". In September 2009, academic and artistic doctoral schools were established at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. With its Dr.artium programme, KUG became the first university in Austria (and according to the university itself, the first institution in the German-speaking countries), to offer an artistic
doctorate degree A doctorate (from Latin ''doctor'', meaning "teacher") or doctoral degree is a postgraduate academic degree awarded by universities and some other educational institutions, derived from the ancient formalism '' licentia docendi'' ("licence to teach ...
. This academic doctoral school replaced the previous inter-university philosophy and science doctoral degrees. The first artistic doctoral degree was completed at KUG in 2013. In the winter semester 2019/2020 there were 1903 students taking degree courses at KUG (1512 primarily registered at KUG and 391 taking courses offered in partnership with another institution and primarily registered at the partner institution under "official co-registration"), plus 296 non-degree students. The proportion of women was 47%. The proportion of foreign students was 50% (for students taking degree courses and primarily registered at KUG), or just below 52% (taking into account "official co-registration" and non-degree students, particularly the programmes for promotion of emerging talent, and for children and young people). Since 1989, KUG has held an International Chamber Music Competition "Franz Schubert and Modern Music" every three years.

Campus

The Palais Meran has been the main building of the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz since 1963 and is used not only as a venue for events, but also by several institutes and administrative bodies. It was built between 1841 and 1843 in the late classical style by Georg Hauberisser senior on the grounds of a former Meierhof, (a building occupied by the estate administrator) and was the residence of Styrian Habsburg Archduke Johann. The MUMUTH project took first prize in an international competition won by Dutch architect

As well as the large György-Ligeti-Saal, a concert space with an elaborate system of variable acoustics, it offers an orchestra rehearsal space and a rehearsal stage, plus additional studios, workshops and theatre infrastructure.

Award'' for its architecture. The Neubau ew Buildingwas constructed between 1988 and 1993 based on plans by Viennese architect, Klaus Musil. It is also known as the "Piano", because of its footprint. The first floor holds ensemble and seminar rooms, while the extended top floor boasts 83 rooms for individual tuition. On the ground floor are the canteen and the Aula (auditorium). The neighbouring building, erected in 1998, houses the library and the archive. The Theater im Palais (T.i.P.) is home to the ''Institute of Drama'' and its rehearsal spaces and stage areas. The building, which is separated from the palace itself by the courtyard, was originally used as a cart shed and stables. In 2013/14 the building was renovated based on plans by architect Johannes Wohofsky, and extended with a new glass foyer giving a view of the old facade. The exterior shell in front of the facade, made from gold-coloured, perforated aluminium sheet creates a visual design feature and provides shade from the sun. The Reiterkaserne, which is a listed building, was built in the 1840s to accommodate cavalrymen, and served as barracks for around 100 years. It has been renovated since 2005 on the basis of plans by Graz-based architect Josef Hohensinn. The building encloses a courtyard, and a new structure has been added facing onto Leonhardstrasse. Since 2007 it has housed teaching rooms and office space (particularly for the Institute of Music Education), concert halls and the workshops of the Institute of Stage Design. The former
