Expect the unexpected!

This is a place where everything takes infinitely long, it is infinitely quiet, a place where mystery is strong. In this enchanted glade, the ten symphonies of Anton Bruckner resonate 666 times longer. A pause of one sole minute in Bruckner's music becomes a silence of eleven hours and six minutes. The rustling of the leaves, birdsong, the creaking of trees and the horns of distant ships are the real sound of Bruckner, namely the sound for him. An all-pervading mystery from 13 February till 10 November 2024.

This focus of this project lies on ten women who played a vital role in the life of Anton Bruckner. Linz-based artist Zoe Goldstein spent over a year collecting information in order to compile these biographies. The aim is to cast the spotlgiht on these women and gain an idea of who they were and how they lived. Portraits and biographies are examined allowing us to question the role of women in society then and now. The title of the project links the importance of women to his art and refers to his mother, Theresia Bruckner, who was an important female constant in his life. To give a wider audience access to this topic and generate a discourse, this project has been conceived as a travelling exhibition in Linz, Steyr and Attersee. An additional item of the programme, following the opening in the Brucknerhaus on International Women's Day, is a production with a concert and a reading which will take place in the last month of the presentation at the square of the Mariendom (St. Mary's Cathedral).

Anton Bruckner felt at home in St. Florian Abbey where he was a choirboy. He was taught here and later taught himself. He also played the organ on the "Krismannin" in the collegiate church. In this place of the world, he searched for his own identity as an artist. He also returned here for good on his very last journey. At the abbey, for the very first time, the Upper Austrian KulturEXPO Anton Bruckner 2024 exhibition showcases the various stages of the composer's life and work. It features a large number of documents from the abbey's archives. Three monumental pavilions in the abbey courtyard invite visitors to experience Bruckner's dreams and visions for themeselves through exciting multimedia presentations.

Further information on the exhibition, tickets, educationalal programme and barrier-free access can be found here:

David Wagner is collecting audio donations of short motifs from the 9 Bruckner symphonies on video from the residents of the streets, alleys, paths and squares throughout Upper Austria once frequented by Bruckner. He is using them to create a 9-minute compilation of footage that depicts a representative cross-section of Bruckner's creative symphonic work. He has the support of a randomly generated cross-section of the population from the entire state of Upper-Austria.

In this way 72 short videos are produced. The actual "performance" is filmed as is the journey itself, making contact with the people, the rehearsals and various "making of" scenes. These are then edited to make a film which also lasts for around 9 minutes.

Just like Anton Bruckner, David Wagner navigates his way through the countryside without the need for an engine. With a velocipede as his means of transport, he reaches all of the 72 stations on his Bruckner Road Tour without generating any CO2 thus ensuring that the spirit of Bruckner, which still hovers above the land above the River Enns, remains undisturbed by  pollutants .

David Wagner is also happy to have fellow cyclists along for the ride, who make one or two of the 1,500 kilometers through Upper Austria easier for him.

Bruckner embroidery is a participatory art project in the form of collective embroidery. Participants meet in small groups to embroider a fragment of a Bruckner score.

Everyone is welcome to join in the embroidery! No technical knowledge is required. It's not about embroidering "correctly" but about how everyone does it in their own way: experimental, rough, precise, nervous, wild, calm...

The embroidery meetings take place at various locations in Upper Austria: on a market square, in a music school, in an inn, at a lake, in a private apartment, during a music rehearsal.

While the hands are busy, the conversations can free themselves. Just as the motif continues to be embroidered by all those involved, the stories continue to unfold. Meeting by meeting - note by note - stitch by stitch, the entire embroidery grows as the sum of each individual handwriting and personality.

The embroidery meetings are barrier-free!
No registration is required for this event!

Further embroidery meetings will follow.

This device combines organ playing and an ensemble of adapted  playground equipment in a move to create a collective musical instrument in a public space. Different organ pipes are operated by swinging them and bobbing them up and down - this creates an acoustic space in the organ playground that makes Anton Bruckner audible and tangible in both an abstract and playful way.
The SCHORGEL will be set up in various Bruckner-related locations in 2024.

The fact that you can get art from a vending machine just like chewing gum, snacks or drinks is no longer something entirely new. However, the inventor of the art vending machine, Helene Huemer, fills it with sculptures, medals, scrolls and drawings as well as comics in the style of Bruckner. The machine is now going on tour through Upper Austria and demands to be filled again and again by creative people. There is a hands-on table for both the young and old where YOU can give your creativity free rein. Get in on the art: model, stamp, draw, write poetry and let us teleport Anton Bruckner, the organ rock star, into the here and now. Insert a 2 euro coin, spin it and plop! You will be rewarded with a surprise such as an original work of art from regional & international artists or from one of the participants.

Symphonic music affects us without words as does dance. In the former, art is expressed as a sound and in the latter, art is predominantly visible. Approaching Anton Bruckner's 9th Symphony, for Compositional transfer inbodied "I ANTON " we worked on a method of translation which should help musical structures to shift from a space filled with sound to a space filled with movement. This performance does not just dance to the music or its mood, rather it repeats its forms even in the physical realm, and even attempts to dance with Anton beyond the unfinished end through the movements which develop from this.

Bruckner as part of the club scene? In April, the STREAM CLUB and state music students studying digital music production proved that this is possible. And the beat goes on: "It all started with the idea of creating new approaches to Anton Bruckner's classical music," Ilona Roth from Transitheart Productions explains. The latter is a label for artistic  productions in the field of contemporary dance and theatre with interfaces to performance art, film and video. Together with the Linz-based collective Holy Hydra, she has devised Bruckner's Beats and presents pieces by Bruckner featuring electronic remixes and new arrangements in a club atmosphere. Sound installations, performances, art happenings and interventions - Anton Bruckner becomes danceable and tangible.

The Experimental Sound-Focused Experimental Arrangement (organ performance) combines organic and inorganic sounds. During the live performance, which is tuned to the sacred space, the audience is evoked a mood that is both melancholic and optimistic. Based on the works of Anton Bruckner, E:K:V will reinterpret the classical pieces with electronic sounds and organ sounds. A performative sound journey with remixes of Bruckner's sounds will expand the framework. Dancers and performers from Transitheart Productions will interact with Bruckner remixes and enable an immersive dive into their live improvisation.

The striking similarity between a recurring theme from Bruckner's Fifth Symphony and a guitar riff by the White Stripes - in their song, the Seven Nation Army - is the godmother of this ten-piece electric guitar ensemble. In this field of tension between high culture, popular culture and avant-garde, the collective dedicates itself to this very riff. In essence, this is less a case of "stealing the stolen" or an act of appropriation. It can be understood in the sense of a recuperation. Experimental sound surfaces meet pointed repetitions of the Bruckner riff in variations and subtle shifts. The result is a a monstrous sound aesthetic, a hybrid of Anton Bruckner, White Stripes and the loud electric guitar symphonist, Glenn Branca.

In good weather, the event will take place on the lawn in front of the vicarage and in the ABC hall in the event of bad weather

This performance does not just dance to the music or its mood, rather it repeats its forms even in the physical realm, and even attempts to dance with Anton beyond the unfinished end through the movements which develop from this.

Anton Bruckner frequently visited the Weilenböck and Lang families in Neufelden. He traveled there on the Mühlkreis railway, which opened in 1888, walked along the Große Mühl and also played the church organ in Neufelden. The Neufelden (1919-1924), Aschach and Ottensheim dams had not yet been built at the time.
In the now massively changed landscape between Neufelden and Linz, the coda from Bruckner's Fourth Symphony, also known as The Romantic, will be played on 7 July 2024. However, not the usual version, but rather one based on a score by the artist, Michael Pisaro-Liu: he has arranged the moving and stirring piece of music for the 90 brass players who will make the Danube between Neufelden and Linz resound in Bruckner's tones. On 7 July 2024, the river and dams will become a space for listening.

On 7.7.2024, the river and dams will each become a listening room for around 40 minutes.

Radio FRO's 65+ department has selected the 200th anniversary of the genius loci for its annual project. And it has set itself the task of shedding light on the man from Ansfeld from a host of different angles: From the musical as well as the literary, satirical, anecdotal as well as the artistic points of view. This will include reports and features on Bruckner sites in Upper Austria including memorials and museums. Reports will also cover all of the possible and impossible events taking place in different parts of the state in connection with the European Capital of Culture 2024 which is running in a parallel fashion in the Salzkammergut.

This device combines organ playing and an ensemble of adapted  playground equipment in a move to create a collective musical instrument in a public space. Different organ pipes are operated by swinging them and bobbing them up and down - this creates an acoustic space in the organ playground that makes Anton Bruckner audible and tangible in both an abstract and playful way.
The SCHORGEL will be set up in various Bruckner-related locations in 2024.

At the age of 17, Bruckner was not that much older than the students and was sent to Windhaag in the Bohemian Forest as a trained school assistant, where he enjoyed hitherto unknown freedoms - but also had to fulfill and perform a wide range of tasks and services, which were associated with privations.
An information room in the old school, which is only semi-public but open to the public, is a reminder of this. This is Bruckner's workplace in Windhaag, which, at the instigation of owner Irmgard Quass, is now a Bruckner place of learning and remembrance in one, and whose exhibition room is to be redesigned by Anton Bruckner in 2024.

Notre Dame is called the soul of Paris. For a whole country this church is a place of identification. As a result of the tragic fire in 2019, its bells have fallen silent.However, these bells were not damaged by the fire and silently and secretly "listen" to the sounds of the city around Notre Dame. Silent Echoes: Notre Dame is a continuously live-streamed sound sculpture that makes audible the simple physical fact that these bells are constantly ringing in secret. U.S. sound artist Bill
Fontana is expanding his artistic project for the 2024 Capital of Culture in a collaboration with the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the IRCAM Research Institute for Acoustics based there, the Upper Austrian KulturEXPO Anton Bruckner 2024, the Ars Electronica Festival and the Goiserer Musiktage to create a "dialogue" between the ice caves on the Dachstein and Paris. The sound of the melting glacier and the resonance of the bells of Notre Dame become a duet that tells of a European cultural monument that has almost disappeared and a natural world that is equally threatened by disappearance. Bill Fontana describes this extended version, in which the sounds of the glacier are "played back" live to Paris, as an artistic statement on the consequences of climate change.

The Parzival Dome in the ice caves of the Dachstein is a place that carries an "inestimable secret", as it is called in the sense of Anton Bruckner's composition Locus iste: a secret that asks us humans the question of how we want to live with nature in the future. In addition, OÖ KulturEXPO Anton Bruckner 2024, in cooperation with the Goiserer Musiktage, will award a composition commission to young composers on this theme. The work will be premiered as part of the European Capital of Culture 2024 at the Goiserer Musiktage on the glass fountain in the ice cave.

Date details:
- from September 2024 until the end of the season: Sound installation and live concerts
- September 4: Special performance with live broadcast for Bruckner's birthday
- until the end of the season: Guided tours of the sound installation in the ice cave

Concert for Bruckner's 200th birthday in Ansfelden. Since 2018, the International Bruckner Festival Linz has begun every year on September 4, the birthday of its namesake. The birthday concert to kick off the festival always takes place in Ansfelden, the place where it all began for Anton Bruckner, where he was born in the servants' quarters of the school building and baptized on the same day in the nearby parish church.

In 2024, the well-wishers could hardly be more prominent: The Cleveland Orchestra, known as the "most European" of the US orchestras, and its chief conductor Franz Welser-Möst from Linz will do the honors and pay tribute to the jubilarian with an open-air performance in the open space between the parish church and courtyard.

The striking similarity between a recurring theme from Bruckner's Fifth Symphony and a guitar riff by the White Stripes - in their song, the Seven Nation Army - is the godmother of this ten-piece electric guitar ensemble. In this field of tension between high culture, popular culture and avant-garde, the collective dedicates itself to this very riff. In essence, this is less a case of "stealing the stolen" or an act of appropriation. It can be understood in the sense of a recuperation. Experimental sound surfaces meet pointed repetitions of the Bruckner riff in variations and subtle shifts. The result is a a monstrous sound aesthetic, a hybrid of Anton Bruckner, White Stripes and the loud electric guitar symphonist, Glenn Branca.

The second quantum revolution as a musical spectacle in Linz's Mariendom:

Lasers, mirrors, polarizers, non-linear crystals - an experimental set-up from the high-tech laboratory in the middle of the Mariendom in Linz. Entangled photons - the quanta of light - become conductors and direct Bruckner's Perger Prelude in a way that no human being in the world could.

Two resounding church organs play live and fill the spectacular sound space of the cathedral. BruQner shows us a new view of our reality - a world premiere!

In the public space in the fall of 2023, WhatsAB will initially be a live event, naturally transient as such, based on an idea by Rainer Zendron and Bernd Preinfalk. A year later, in the fall of 2024, the sound event will have become an installation for an art space.
Conducted by Sigurd Hennemann, an ensemble of about twenty musicians will play a corresponding arrangement of the Andante in E minor from Three Movements for Orchestra, entered in Anton Bruckner's catalog raisonné as number 97. As befits the digitally networked age, the individual musicians are related to each other, but record their respective parts solo at a different Bruckner location. The camera and microphone focus on the musicians without blocking out any background or ambient noise.
The sum of these parts and the orchestra concert is only added up in the media installation in a continuous loop: twenty screens on just as many music stands show the musicians playing in the public space; conductor Hennemann can be seen at work on a monitor on the wall. The Andante itself can be heard as a professional mix of the individual recordings. The visitors are free to move around the room as they wish in this ambience.

Bruckner as part of the club scene? In April, the STREAM CLUB and state music students studying digital music production proved that this is possible. And the beat goes on: "It all started with the idea of creating new approaches to Anton Bruckner's classical music," Ilona Roth from Transitheart Productions explains. The latter is a label for artistic  productions in the field of contemporary dance and theatre with interfaces to performance art, film and video. Together with the Linz-based collective Holy Hydra, she has devised Bruckner's Beats and presents pieces by Bruckner featuring electronic remixes and new arrangements in a club atmosphere. Sound installations, performances, art happenings and interventions - Anton Bruckner becomes danceable and tangible.

"We have been dancing at the interface of club culture, religion and society for half a decade now. This has grown from a fascination for special places and a passion for techno. Our spherical sounds and hard beats cast a spell on holy architecture. Sacred space meets urban space, bumbum comes face to face with certain standards," this is how the members of the Hydra collective describe themselves.
The many-headed creature from the underworld of Linz, which defends subcultures both by day and by night, was founded in 2016 as the event collective die geile Hydra which has since become a cultural association. Since 2018 Hydra, as  Holy Hydra , has been playing in churches. For example, on 6 and 7 September, 2024 in the parish church in Urfahr.

The Composition Workshop: Composing in HIMMLISCHER HÖHE aims to be a place that offers young composers space for exciting sound experiments in and with Austria's largest church. On the occasion of the anniversaries "100 years of the Mariendom Linz" and "200 years of Anton Bruckner", it offers the extraordinary opportunity for an intensive exchange between young composers (born in 1998 and later) and professional musicians as well as an exciting experience for the (sound) artistic career.

The vocal compositions, which were created following a workshop in the footsteps of Anton Bruckner and St. Mary's Cathedral as well as a composition residency in the Türmerstube at a height of 68 meters above Linz, will be premiered at the presentation concert by the renowned Ensemble Cantando Admont under the direction of Cordula Bürgi in the presence of the young sound creators.

In three rooms, you can listen to interpretations of Bruckner's symphonies by DJs and musicians, immerse yourself in parallel worlds of sound, accompanied by live interaction from dancers, via a headphone audio system on three channels. Along the way, you can talk about Bruckner, toast him and philosophize about him. Supported by club sounds - loud and quiet at the same time - thoughtful but also danceable, ambivalent like Bruckner himself.

Halluzination is a new production of Anton Bruckner's 1868 composition Erinnerung that combines artificial intelligence, live music, performance, singing, holographic laser projections and light - to create a new, sensual level of perception that combines classical music, contemporary art and the avant-garde.
The artist, composer, singer and music producer Crystn Hunt Akron, together with intermedia artist Chris Noelle - who is designing the visualization - and Ali Nikrang, who works as a composer, artist and key researcher at the Ars Electronica Futurelab, are responsible for the resurrection of this Bruckner work in a musical-performative-visual dream world.
The art makes use of artificial intelligence: it generates a piece that represents a kind of memory of memory and is rearranged and remixed.
