State Medal of Honor
Festival director Hinterhäuser honored
Markus Hinterhäuser has been Artistic Director of the Salzburg Festival since 2016. In April 2024, his contract was extended for a further five years until September 2031. He has now been awarded the Decoration of Honor of the Province of Salzburg for his artistic work.
The name does not suggest it, but Hinterhäuser was born in La Spezia, Italy. He studied piano at the Salzburg Mozarteum, among other places. Prior to his directorship of the Salzburg Festival, he was the artistic director of the Vienna Festival from 2014 to 2016.
Markus Hinterhäuser is highly respected among Austria's cultural professionals and artists. However, he also attracts attention beyond Austria's borders: in February 2024, for example, he was awarded the Trophée Radio Classique in Paris for his artistic direction of the Salzburg Festival. Now the award followed: on Friday, Governor Wilfried Haslauer presented the 66-year-old with the Decoration of Honor of the Province of Salzburg.
