The University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar is an excellent, internationally oriented music academy in the European Cultural City of Weimar (Germany).

It was the superstar of the 19th century, the great pianist, composer and pedagogue Franz Liszt who first had the idea of establishing a school of music in Weimar. Today, about 850 students from around 50 countries are offered a broad selection of subjects in performance, music pedagogy and musicology. The modern musician in the role of an ensemble player is the focus of training, whether active in a classical symphony orchestra, a choir, a big band, working in high schools or in management, or performing as orchestra musician, chamber musician or music educator.

The university sets benchmarks with its international master classes, competitions, exchange programs, festivals and conferences.
