Stella Vorarlberg Private University College for Music
Professional musicians have been receiving vocal and instrumental lessons in almost all kinds of instruments at the former Jesuit convent “Stella Matutina” since 1977. Stella Vorarlberg offers two innovative bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes. Around 320 musicians from 26 nations are currently studying here. Our aim is to prepare our students in the best possible way for a wide range of attractive career paths. Personalised and in-depth support for our students is particularly important to us. As a university we want to have an impact on the breadth and depth of society – in the Lake Constance region and beyond. Here in Feldkirch, in the centre of Europe, cultural excellence and a high quality of life come together.
At Stella Vorarlberg around 70 teachers teach in central artistic subjects and theoretical and practical supplementary subjects. The renowned artists and teachers pass on their expertise and knowledge to the next generation of musicians. Stella Vorarlberg takes responsibility for its students. The good cooperation among all the staff is reflected in an appreciative and familiar atmosphere, which makes Stella something very special as an educational institution. The personal and intensive support of the students is particularly important to the young university.
