Program Overview

In this study center program, students study music history and performance in Vienna, a bridge between a myriad of cultures, and home to many of history's greatest composers, from Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven to Brahms, Mahler, and Schoenberg. The city offers a multitude of cultural destinations, such as Schonbrunn Palace, Belvedere Place, and the Schonbrunn Zoo. Students live in a shared apartment near the study center. IES Abroad also offers field trips to closeby destinations throughout the summer abroad.
