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.

In 2024, the super cultural state of Upper Austria celebrates a super cultural year. The Salzkammergut is the cultural capital and Anton Bruckner turns 200 years old.

With Erwin Schrott, one of the most exciting and charismatic singers of our time has been won over for the upcoming Salzkammergut Open-Air. This season, the Uruguayan bass-baritone will not only be appearing on major opera stages from Berlin to Verona, but also in Toscanapark Gmunden, one of the most beautiful open-air concert halls in the world.
Erwin Schrott will pay tribute to Anton Bruckner, the composer of the year, by performing an enchanting, unknown work for the first time together with the Bruckner Orchestra Linz. The program will also include works by the other annual jubilarians Smetana, Puccini and the "Salzkammergut" composers. But you can also expect sonorous excursions into South American realms!
Expect the surprising, the enchanting!

The Salzkammergut Open-Air of the Bruckner Orchestra Linz takes place as part of the Salzkammergut Festival Weeks.

A choral program in 2024 simply has to include Anton Bruckner. Confessional music, filled with Bruckner's unshakeable piety. Even in his first mass, Bruckner chose the rhythmic, harmonic and melodic material very consciously: Every key, every modulation, every cadence became, under his hand, a "text module" of a musical language rich in meaning.

Arnold Schoenberg's "Friede auf Erden", a setting of a Christmas poem by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer, has been firmly anchored in the Arnold Schoenberg Choir's repertoire from the very beginning and is undisputedly one of the most moving works for mixed choir a cappella.

It is usually said of Arvo Pärt's compositional development that he began as an avant-garde "bad boy", was generally experimental and complicated, garish-sounding, uncompromisingly serial, then fell silent for almost a decade and then re-emerged completely changed and has been writing beautiful, unearthly, melodious music ever since. His "Kleine Litanei" is explicitly dedicated to the Arnold Schoenberg Choir and its conductor Erwin Ortner, a choir "whose quality I have admired for many years. He is one of those interpreters of my music who seem to understand my world immediately" (Arvo Pärt).

An introduction to the work will take place at 10:00 in the foyer on the 1st floor.
