During four separate visits in 2025, Norbert Meyn worked with students of the Vocal Department (Music Pedagogy pathway) to prepare two concerts with music for voice and piano by composers who emigrated to Britain from Nazi Europe. Working both on vocal technique and artistic interpretation, Norbert coached the students in group workshops and individual sessions.

During the workshops, Norbert worked with Salzburg-based pianist and vocal coach Klaus Eibensteiner, who also accompanied the students in the final concerts on November 21 and 22, 2025.

The concerts were part of the two day symposium Landschaft des Exils, curated by John Thomasson. Focused on musical performance, it included 10 concerts and four lectures over two days.

Norbert also worked with the Department for Research Development at the Mozarteum and gave two lectures featuring different aspects of his work in the Research Department at the Royal College of Music.
