HIGH SCHOOL STUDY ABROAD TO AUSTRIA

Charming and elegant, edgy and innovative, present-day Austria at times feels like a contradiction: How can a nation that still sways to the sound of Mozart’s symphonies and hangs on the piercing final vocals of classical opera also tap its feet to the notes of a bass guitar and nod its head to the latest electronic chart topper? If such a wide range in popular music reveals a nation’s ability to integrate old and new, then Austria is a true trend setting nation. Austria’s history is no doubt a diverse one: From Roman Emperors to the House of Hapsburg, Avant-garde performers to artists of the Art Nouveau, many have called Austria their home and place of inspiration.
