Dear Ladies and Gentlemen!

August, September and October this autumn will

be fully dominated by Anton Bruckner. We are

looking forward to the cooperation with the ‘St.

Florianer Brucknertage’ in August 2016.

Beginning from September 13 onward we are going

to stage the international Bruckner Festival under

the title ‘near and far’. Outstanding artists, cham-

ber orchestras, large orchestras: in many concerts

we are going to meet artists from Austria and Upper

Austria as well as South Korea, Russia and other

countries.

Our partner country in 2016 is South Korea. The

republic is one of the most thrilling far-east coun-

tries, which has utilized Asia’s dynamic develop-

ment of the last fifty years in an exemplary manner.

Numerous artists represent Korea’s exceptional

development and unique educational system. The

composer Anton Bruckner, after whom the festival

was named, is going to be the centrepiece of our

programmatic considerations. In addition, national

and international artists will perform at this festival

so that we can welcome many more composers and

guests from near and far.

We are looking forward to your visit!

Yours

Hans-Joachim Frey

Linzer Klangwolken (Cloud of Sound)

What began on September 18, 1979, at exactly 8.00 pm with Anton Bruckner’s eighth symphony has enchanted more than three million people to date. The idea for the first Klangwolke then was to make the music float like a cloud throughout the town, for everybody to be heard but never losing all its finest quality. For that reason the citizens of Linz put their radios into the open windows and so Bruckner’s music sounded in all of Linz. By now the-re are three annual Linzer Klangwolken: The Classi-cal Klangwolke is an orchrestral performance in its purest form for all classical fans and those aspiring to become such. The Visualized Klangwolke, which is one of the biggest and most spectacular open-air public performances in Europe, transforms the Do-naupark into a breathtaking scenery and befittingly ends in a great fireworks display. For twenty years now children have also had their own Klangwolke. The programme is especially tailored to kids, conse-quently parents are only admitted under the super-vision of their children.

Detailed information available at

www.brucknerhaus.at and www.klangwolke.atThe Klangwolken are a projects of the LIVA.

Bruckner’s seventh in st. FlorianBruckner Orchester Linz Dennis Russell Davies ConductorA. BRucKneR: Symphony no. 7One night, in a dream, the introductory theme was dictated

to him by his friend, violinist Ignaz Dorn – this is how Anton

Bruckner himself described the genesis of his Symphony

no. 7. The composer was already 60 years old when it pre-

miered in Leipzig and finally brought him the recognition he

had longed for. There is only one version available, which

was written between 1881 and 1883, mostly in St. Florian,

where it will now be performed by the Bruckner Orchester

Linz conducted by Dennis Russell Davies.

FLOWer shOestraditional Korean Dance theatreUlsan Metropolitan Dance CompanyGgotshin (flower-embroidered shoes) is an adaptation that

gives a modern take on the Korean traditional folk tale

Kongji Patzzi to portray a woman’s life. It is interesting and

inspiring due to its well-organized structure and story, and

its delicate choreography that harmonizes with its cheerful

rhythms. Ggotshin is a dance drama on contradictory hu-

man attributes; vice and virtue, love and hate, beauty and

ugliness, and nobility and meanness. Ggotshin is like the

Korean version of Cinderella.
