The International Mozarteum Foundation (German: Internationale Stiftung Mozarteum) (ISM), also known as the Mozarteum Foundation Salzburg (German: Stiftung Mozarteum Salzburg), is a nonprofit organisation based in the Austrian city of Salzburg.
The ISM is dedicated to the life and work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Through activities in three core areas–concerts, Mozart museums, and Mozart research–it aims to bridge the gap between preserving tradition and contemporary culture. It organises the annual Mozart Week and other concert series.
The current International Mozarteum Foundation was founded on 17 April 1925, organised as a Verein or association. It traces its origins back to the International Mozarteum Foundation, founded on 16 October 1880, which in turn had its roots in the "Cathedral Music Society and Mozarteum" (German: Dom-Musik-Verein und Mozarteum) of 22 April 1841.
