The aim of the NHZ is not only to be a musicological research centre, but its unique selling point is reflected in its interdisciplinary work as a forum for education. The NHZ sees itself as the "torchbearer" of Harnoncourt's universal worlds of thought and dares to look at the wider context of developments over the last few centuries in order to venture an outlook on the future in the cultural-philosophical think tank.
Nikolaus Harnoncourt was not only a musician, but also a great thinker on the social issues of our time and never missed an opportunity to point out grievances in education and cultural life to politicians or other decision-makers. Nikolaus Harnoncourt saw the promotion of artistic understanding and artistic sensibility in all social strata as one of the most important tasks of cultural policy, a task whose fulfilment he demanded as a human right for all. In this sense, Nikolaus Harnoncourt made it clear in a review of his life's work for performers and receptive listeners alike:
Not self-satisfied enjoyment, but lifelong work is necessary in order to be able to answer the questions about what remains in art with Robert Musil: "We, as the changed, remain."
In the Denkwerkstatt, Prof Florian Boesch will invite personalities of our time to discuss the currently burning social issues. These symposia or panel discussions will take place in St. Georgen im Attergau and will be streamed online.
Florian Boesch: "It's about coming to terms with our secular spirituality, about the part of our humanity that doesn't fit into any scientific mould, but which we are occupied with, each in our own way, looking at ourselves, getting to the bottom of ourselves, without falling for our own tricks."
Programme subject to change!"
