Linz

128 years after the death of Bruckner, Peter Androsch lays the composer out again. In the Mount of Olives Chapel on the north-eastern side of the parish church in Linz, where Bruckner was the organist for 13 years. Six guardian angels watch over him. They are his siblings who died at a tender age. The shrine is illuminated five times a day.

With the kind support of the City of Linz, the VKB bank and Linzer Bier!

2024 is the memorial year for Anton Bruckner, the Fotografische Gesellschaft is taking part in this commemorative year and offering a variety of approaches to Bruckner: as a musician, as a person and as a driven man.

The aim of the exhibition is to shed light on Bruckner's life and work from different perspectives and to present its complexity. Bruckner as a musician: The focus here is on Bruckner's musical legacy. His symphonies, organ works and other compositions take center stage and demonstrate his musical creativity.

Bruckner the man: This perspective is dedicated to Bruckner's personality and his life outside of music. Here the photographic works tell of his life as a person, as a musician in the provinces and his environment. Bruckner the driven man: This aspect sheds light on the inner struggles and challenges that Bruckner had to face. These include his self-doubt, criticism during his lifetime and his tireless pursuit of perfection in his music.

The diversity in the works of the Fotografische Gesellschaft attempts to honor and show Bruckner in all his complexity. Through different artistic approaches and interpretations, the public is offered the opportunity to get to know Bruckner from new perspectives.

The immersive sound space "Being Anton" at the Ars Electronica Center in Linz offers visitors the opportunity to explore Bruckner's world of sound in a completely new way. After all, when we think of Anton Bruckner, we usually think of his legacy, i.e. Bruckner's music and his sounds. But what soundscape surrounded Bruckner himself? What did he listen to in his everyday life? His life was characterized by many social upheavals triggered by the industrial revolution. The steam engine, for example, which was used in steam trains and steamships, not only changed people's mobility options at an unprecedented pace, but also brought a completely new soundscape into the world.
The installation "Being Anton", developed by the Ars Electronica Futurelab, allows visitors to immerse themselves in this world of sound that surrounded Anton Bruckner and his contemporaries. The link with examples from Bruckner's musical oeuvre creates points of contact between the two sound worlds.

What makes up the gigantic, imposing sound of a Bruckner symphony? Visitors can approach this question in a playful way with "Playing Anton" in Deep Space 8K at the Ars Electronica Center: Playing together with other visitors, they can constantly re-form the various instrumental groups of the Bruckner Orchestra Linz thanks to the innovative interaction technology of Deep Space 8K. Various facets of the musical and compositional perception of Bruckner's music are illuminated, enhanced by impressive 3D visualizations.
For example, "Playing Anton" - developed by the Ars Electronica Futurelab - allows visitors to immerse themselves visually and musically in Anton Bruckner's impressive world of sound together with the Bruckner Orchestra Linz and interactively explore its special features. Not just as listeners in front of the stage, but right in the middle of the orchestra.

They can then explore its special features in an interactive manner, not just as listeners in front of the stage, but from right in the middle of the orchestra.

Being Anton
The immersive  "Being Anton" acoustic space at the Ars Electronica Centre in Linz allows visitors to explore Bruckner's world of sound in a completely new way. After all, when we think of Anton Bruckner, we usually think about his legacy, i.e. the music and sounds of Bruckner. But what acoustic space surrounded Bruckner himself? What did he listen to in his everyday life? His life was shaped by many social upheavals triggered by the industrial revolution. The steam engine, for example, which was used in steam trains and steamers, presented the people of that time with new mobility options at an unprecedented pace and also introduced new elements of sound to the world.
The installation "Being Anton", developed by the Ars Electronica Futurelab, allows visitors to immerse themselves in the world of sound that prevailed in the day of Anton Bruckner and his contemporaries. Linking the latter to examples from Bruckner's creative work generates points of contact between these two worlds of sound.

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).

Notre Dame is known as the soul of Paris. One whole country identifies with this church. The tragic fire of 2019 silenced the church bells but they were not damaged by the fire and they continue to listen secretly and silently to the sounds of the City surrounding Notre Dame. Silent Echoes: Notre Dame is a continuously live-streamed sound sculpture which lends a voice to the simple physical fact that these bells are constantly ringing in secret. The American sound artist, Bill Fontana, is expanding his artistic project for the 2024 Capital of Culture in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Parisian-based IRCAM Research Institute for Acoustics, the Upper Austrian KulturEXPO Anton Bruckner 2024, the Ars Electronica Festival and the Goiserer Musiktage (Goiserer Days of Music) to create a "dialogue" between the glacial caves of the Dachstein and Paris. The sound of the melting glacier and the resonanting ring of the bells of Notre Dame create a duet which tells the tale of a European cultural monument that almost disappeared and a natural world that equally risks disappearing. Bill Fontana describes this extended version, in which the sounds of the glacier are "played back" live to Paris, as an artistic statement about the consequences of climate change.

The "Parzival" Cathedral in the ice caves of the Dachstein is a place that holds an "invaluable secret", as Anton Bruckner's composition Locus iste puts it: a secret that asks us humans 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 grand piano of glass in the ice cave.

A concert for Bruckner's 200th birthday in Ansfelden. Since 2018, the International Bruckner Festival Linz has commenced every year on 4 September, 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: it was here that he was born in the servants' quarters of the school building and where he was baptised on the very same day in the neighbouring parish church.

In 2024, the well-wishers are prominent to say the least: The Cleveland Orchestra, known as the "most European" of the US orchestras, and its chief conductor, Franz Welser-Möst, who hails from Linz, will do the honours and pay tribute to the jubilarian with an open-air performance in the area between the parish church and the 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 but rather a recuperation. Experimental acoustic spaces encounter incisive repetitions of the Bruckner riff in variations and with subtle shifts. The result is a a monstrous sound aesthetic, a hybrid of Anton Bruckner, the White Stripes and the loud electric guitar symphonist, Glenn Branca.

The concert takes place as part of the Ars Electronica Festival.

Steyr was one of Bruckner's favourite towns. The town museum is dedicating the special exhibition "UN#ERHÖRT dieser Bruckner!" to the life and work of Anton Bruckner, with a focus on his relationship with Steyr. Bruckner, the man, is on display and interactive music installations introduce visitors to unknown worlds of sound. In the old sexton's house located next to the parish church, Wolfgang Hack has created a show entitled "Anton Bruckner in Steyr - Where I enjoy staying every year", which showcases the composer's life and the history of the period.

The curators, Martin L. Fiala and Wolfgang Hack, will guide visitors through the exhibitions in the town museum and the sexton's house. Bruckner cider can also be tasted.

The end of the birthday brings us to three outstanding sound events in the Mariendom. For this Bruckner created his locus iste: quantum revolution as a musical spectacle, Bruckner's Seventh as chamber music &  a 12-piece electric guitar ensemble.

Ars Electronica 2024 will take place in Linz from September 4 to 8 and is dedicated to the title HOPE - who will turn the tide. The Ars Electronica Opening will be celebrated in the Mariendom from 22:00 - 24:00.

BruQner - The Sound of Entanglement (22:00): The second quantum revolution as a musical spectacle. 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.

Chamber musicians of the Bruckner Orchestra Linz ( 23:00) play 2 movements of Bruckner's arrangement of Symphony No. 7 for ensemble (Schönberg version): 2nd movement: Adagio. Very solemn and very slow / 3rd movement: Scherzo. Very fast.

NoFive - Bruckner x Pop x No Wave (23:30): A fusion of Bruckner's Fifth Symphony and the White Stripes' iconic "Seven Nation Army" riff, shaken and stirred Glenn Branca style. A mighty wall of guitar amps reinforces the 12-piece ensemble, which symphonizes an avant-garde soundscape between high and pop culture.

In the autumn of 2023, WhatsAB will initially be a live event for the public, 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 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 the Orchestra which is recorded in Anton Bruckner's catalogue raisonné as number 97. As befits the digitally networked age, the individual musicians are related to each other, but record their respective parts as solos 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 orchestral concert are only added up in the media installation in a continuous loop: twenty screens on just as many music stands showcase the musicians playing in the public space; the 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 atmosphere.

Bruckner as part of the club scene? In April, the STREAM CLUB and students from the state music school studying digital music production proved that this is possible. And the beat goes on: "This all began with the idea to generate 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 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 - thus Anton Bruckner becomes danceable and tangible.

"For half a decade now we have been dancing at the interface of club culture, religion and society due to 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.

Violetta Parisini opens up a world of emotion in her songs. Emotions wihich we all know although we have not yet formulated them into words. Peter Rom accompanies here on the guitar, his unique sound is enchanting, and Hanibal Scheutz on bass, personifies the groove. Parisini weaves a magic carpet that will remain soft and warm in your memory for a long time to come. The indie pop artist, Wim, made a name for herself in 2022 with the release of her debut album "Boxer". Her songs, which shine with poetry, accurate lyrics and a love of melancholy, are never simple, but always full of lightness.

The two artists got to know each other while writing their duet "Gespenster" at a songwriting camp and have since written a few more songs out of sheer enthusiasm for each other, which will be performed this evening at the Posthof. German indie pop with no clichés or compromises.

The installation by the artist, Clemens Bauder, combines organ playing and an ensemble of newly built playground equipment to create a collective musical instrument in a public space. Different organ pipes are operated by swinging and rocking them together - an acoustic space develops in the organ playground making Anton Bruckner (on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of his birth) audible and bringing him to life in both an abstract and playful manner.
The modular SCHORGEL will be set up in 2024 in various Upper Austrian locations with a Bruckner connection as well as at the Upper Austrian summer retreat in Vienna.

STARTING POINT
The history of the SCHORGEL begins with the Bruckner organ and its supply of air in the Old Cathedral in Linz. Anton Bruckner worked as a cathedral organist for thirteen years from 1855. In this time he had the organ adapted in several stages to match his own ideas. As was customary at the time, the air or wind supply to the organ was ensured by a bellows pedal (bellows pedal). To do this, the bellows were drawn up and pressed together by the feet and the entire body weight of the assistant. Before air is blown into the organ pipes, it is collected in a magazine bellows for a continuous supply. This physical momentum of constantly kicking and drawing up the bellows forms the starting point for the artistic work of the "SCHORGEL".

MAKING MUSIC WITH ONE'S WHOLE BODY
If you observe the use of seesaws in playgrounds, the movements can be compared to the activity of bellows treaders. The up and down motion of the seesaw is reminiscent of the alternating pulling up and squeezing together of a scoop. Based on this playful translation of rocking and swinging movements into an air supply for various pipe stops, a collectively operable organ instrument is created. By using several rocking and swinging devices with bellows of different sizes, a soundscape is created in which certain sound modulations only arise through the joint action and reaction to the actions of the other rockers or swingers. It is a game on a collective organ in which all of the participants have to coordinate their actions with those of the others. Experimenting with different rocking or swinging speeds - from the gentle rocking back and forth on a swing to the powerful push-off on the high seesaw - determines the air supply and the ever-changing composition that fills the immediate surroundings with sound.

Anton Bruckner is not just a local phenomenon in Upper Austria, but a world-renowned and recognized great as a musician. Who was this man, in whose honor an entire year is proclaimed in Linz and Upper Austria 200 years after his birth?

The exhibition embarks on a journey into Bruckner's past, exploring the set pieces that remain or have emerged over time and placing them in new contexts. Between provincial dust and the big city, we encounter an introverted nerd, an unrecognized genius and his search for love. The life and work of the musical genius is illuminated as well as critically questioned from today's perspective. Views, original artifacts and documents, and contemporary visualizations shed new light on a great musician. In six themed rooms, the story of Bruckner is retold and made tangible.

Sport and culture - constantly linked: Nowhere does this work as well as in Linz, where the Danube lifeline has always set the pace and where Anton Bruckner, Upper Austria's great world-class composer, is also leading the way in many ways on his 200th birthday. Premiere for the Oberbank Anton Bruckner Lauf Linz on September 15, 2024 - register now!

Where, if not in Upper Austria, where "sporting" through the diverse natural landscapes has developed into a real mass movement in recent decades, and in the middle of the marathon "stronghold" and provincial capital Linz, where the Oberbank Linz Donau Marathon attracts up to 20,000 ambitious amateur runners from 80 nations to the spectacular start in the middle of the Voest highway bridge once a year, a new symphony will be created in 2024. One of running, dedicated to Anton Bruckner and his work. The Anton Bruckner running course with start and finish at the Brucknerhaus Linz.

A symphony of running
It is not known that Bruckner was particularly fond of athletics in addition to his groundbreaking musical work and his attachment to tradition in the Land ob der Enns. On the 200th birthday of Upper Austria's great son, the Anton Bruckner running track is more of an offer to the current generation. At the same time, however, it also invites you to rediscover the work of the famous composer: Based on the number of Bruckner symphonies, the distance is nine kilometers and acoustic signposts allow the master's musical work to be heard.

The Oberbank Anton Bruckner Lauf Linz will celebrate its grand opening on September 15, 2024. As a fun run for all sports enthusiasts, held according to the rules of the Austrian Athletics Association, the course first runs to the Lentos Art Museum, turns there and continues along the Danube banks to the narrow headland at Winterhafen to the turning point at Spitz (kilometer 3). After crossing the Voest freeway bridge (kilometer 5) to the northern bank of the Danube, the course continues to the Ars Electronica Center (kilometer 7) and back over the New Railway Bridge.

In the "pace zones" at the start of each of the nine kilometers, participants are greeted by one of Anton Bruckner's impressive symphonies. In addition, ground markings in the design of the anniversary year "Anton Bruckner 2024" show the way to the finish line at kilometer 9.3 at the Brucknerhaus Linz. Once there, all finishers will receive a special medal and a full refreshment bar. The winners will also receive honorary prizes. Women and men will be judged in age groups.

7 artists print lithographs from stone thus creating their own personal reference to Anton Bruckner.

In contrast to earlier times - in the 18th century in the days of the inventor Senefelder, where there were only male artists and printers - or even in Anton Bruckner's lifetime, printed matter was printed by men. Only later, as the only exception among artists, did Käthe Kollwitz become an artistic role model with a strong statement in her lithographs.
Today, female artists are even in the majority, even in physically difficult, elaborate, old printing techniques, such as lithography according to Senefelder.
This beautiful, special technique has not become obsolete without the digital simplification of the press.

During the symposiumyou can look over the artists' shoulders every day from 15 - 21 August 2024.

The performance "Bruckner Remixed In Space" will take place in several sound spaces in St. Severin. A total of 36 Tannoy loudspeakers will be set up in an acousmatic performance arrangement. During the performance, it is important to just listen to the space.  Bruckner's works will be so heavily processed using audio software that the music will sound like a distant "200-year-old" echo.

No admission, a donation is requested. Reservations due to lack of space by email to dorninger@base.at

With this year's lunch series "Lunch with Bruckner", the StifterHaus invites you to take a look at Anton Bruckner. The focus will be on the Bruckner Year and the events associated with this in general. Particular attention will also be paid to Anton Bruckner in literature.

Norbert Trawöger - Bruckner! Journal of a passion

A passionate approach to the music of Anton Bruckner by the well-known musician, Norbert Trawöger. Norbert Trawöger developed a passion for Anton Bruckner at the tender age of eight and it continues to this day. In his journal, he talks with relish about his experience with Bruckner and his music and warns us not to confuse the creator and his work.

StifterHaus

The songs of the young Waldviertel native living in Vienna are slightly darkened, but never completely sinister. Even at a discreet room volume, her sensitive singer-songwriter pop completely captivates you. The intimate sound conveys a melancholy that always resonates in her tracks. Difficult moments are the best source of inspiration for Oska.

She hit the big time in mid-2020. The singer/songwriter signed her first record deal with the Canadian label Nettwerk, won the XA Music Export Award at the Waves Vienna Festival 2020 shortly afterwards, released her debut EP "Honeymoon Phase", landed many of her songs in the Austrian airplay charts and won her first Amadeus Austrian Music Award in the "Best Sound" category in 2022. With plays on the cultural radio station Ö1, the mainstream radio Ö3 and the alternative music radio FM4, she managed a balancing act in her home country that only very few artists are rewarded with in Austria. In addition to all the major publications in her home country, Oska has also won over the press in Germany, Holland, France, Italy and even the USA.

Maria is currently living out her rich musical heritage in Vienna, where she has completed her album "My world, My love, Paris". As Oska, she creates a tantalizing world of radiant melodies, groovy rhythms and poetic lyrics that tell stories. Ultimately, despite its disparate themes of love, grief, climate change and family, "My world, My love, Paris" is a snapshot of a young woman trying to make sense of growing older in an increasingly uncertain time.

A "something", an "in-between", a young punk is obliged to perform one hundred hours of community service for various offenses with an elderly lady who is unable to leave her room due to her mobility restrictions. The woman reads books that don't interest the girl and listens to music that always sounds the same to her. It turns out that due to her absent husband, the elderly lady has spent her whole life listening to Anton Bruckner and his symphonies, especially his Seventh. The lessons that can be drawn from Bruckner's work for a correct life seem never-ending. And how easily one is inclined to find something ridiculous because one does not recognize complexity, humility and sublimity. But the audience soon notices a horror that lies beneath the glorification, a limiting of the horizon in the explanation of the world, a defense of an unspoken accusation. Although the young woman defends herself to the best of her ability, a relationship develops with the old woman. Two women in different phases of life and with contrasting pasts find a new beginning through each other.

Manuela Linshalm is a freelance actress, puppeteer and lecturer at the Filmacademy Vienna.

Other engagements include the Akademietheater Wien, Theater an der Wien, Residenztheater München, Landestheater NÖ, Vereinigte Bühnen Bozen, Bayerische Staatsoper, Volkstheater Wien, Rabenhof Theater, Next Liberty Graz, Theater in der Josefstadt, Theater Dortmund and many more.

Paulus Hochgatterer lives as a storyteller, playwright and child and adolescent psychiatrist in Vienna and in the Waldviertel.

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.

Bruckner as part of the club scene? In April, the STREAM CLUB and students from the state music school studying digital music production proved that this is possible. And the beat goes on: "This all began with the idea to generate 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 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 - thus Anton Bruckner becomes danceable and tangible.

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.

Hallucination. Anton Bruckner's Phantasmagoria is a new staging of his 1868 work "Remembrance" that combines AI, live music, performance, visualization and light. The multimedia artist CRYSTN HUNT AKRON and her partners, Chris Noelle and Ali Nikrang, breathe new life into this work.

Art makes use of artificial intelligence: it generates a piece that represents a kind of memory of "memory" and is rearranged and remixed.

In this project, the entire space of the church is visually and acoustically incorporated and auratically transformed. The result is a musical-visual journey from classical to avant-garde to experimental.

We think so much of Anton Bruckner that he is alive again. On Halloween, October 31, 2024 at 8:24 pm, Peter Androsch will walk around the parish church with everyone who wants to be there, dressed in his Bruckner death masks, led by wind players layering the famous opening motif from Bruckner's Fourth. The cardboard death masks are available from Peter Androsch and/or at remember-bruckner.com.

Wagner, Bruckner, Brahms, Grieg or Tchaikovsky: he knew them all and they held him in great value. David Popper was one of the few cellists who achieved international fame as a soloist in the 19th century even becoming a darling of the tabloid press. Nevertheless, he is far less well known today than, for example, Franz Liszt, who called him to his newly founded academy in Budapest. Martin Rummel investigates why this is the case.

The new Ina Regen is colourful and light but as poetic and true to life as usual. Almost two years to the day have passed since the #1 album "røt". Two years of excitement but first and foremost intense and turbulent. Years that have affected and impacted the world as a whole. Times that have naturally not left a sensitive artist like Ina Regen unscathed. This served as sufficient impetus to initiate a number of changes and give expression to her own experiences in this time in her music, to make them audible.

The music that the Vienna-based singer-songwriter presents to her fans this time is almost as colourful as the album cover itself. It can be interpreted as the consistent further development of a charismatic, energetic and eloquent artist or as an expression of the new-found self-confidence of a woman whose voice has become an indispensable companion for large sections of the public. Above all it expresses the joy of breaking through the boundaries she once imposed on herself and reinventing herself. It is sometimes surprising and yet she remains true to herself. "If I had to give this creative period a title, it would be 'Emancipation'," Ina Regen says.

Ina Regen has also emancipated herself on a professional level. "Fast wie Radlfahrn" (almost like riding a bike) is the first album on her own label ,Nannerl. For the Amadeus Award winner, this step towards independence was a logical step in her career. "Over the last few years, I have increasingly understood that my creativity is nourished by a playful impulsiveness and an unwavering gut feeling. The greatest possible self-determination is the only way to happiness for me personally to ensure that my profession continues to bring me this joy and that my music can also be part of my honest attitude towards life in the long term.

In Bruckner's sketches, which were written during his time as a teacher and later as a monastery organist in St. Florian, numerous copies of works by other composers can be found. The composer was particularly interested in the art of writing fugues and church music. He developed his own technique by copying mostly contrapuntal works by J.G. Albrechtsberger, M. Haydn, A. Caldara, J.S. Bach, W.A. Mozart and other musicians. The sketches also include a copy of an Ave Maria by Franz Joseph Aumann, the Floriani choirmaster.

Under the direction of Elisabeth Wiesbauer, the Euridice Baroque Orchestra will perform symphonies by J.G. Albrechtsberger and M. Haydn on period instruments alongside Aumann's Ave maria.
