Twenty-First-Century Vienna
Abstract
Twenty-first-century Vienna is a city with a living and diverse musical ecosystem. This chapter explores some of this ecosystem, how the ‘city of music’ has evolved and how its contemporary musical culture balances not only past and present but also an increasingly variegated and complex mix of traditions, genres, ethnicities and identities. It examines classical music, jazz, popular music (including indie rock, electronic music and hip-hop) and World Music.
