“The Cleveland Orchestra and I are really looking forward to the Christmas Concert on September 4th, as we would like to celebrate the anniversary of Anton Bruckner with all music lovers in Ansfelden and via live broadcast at the Donaupark in Linz. Anton Bruckner was deeply rooted in the musical and intellectual traditions of his homeland, but at the same time Himself his compositions were so far ahead of his time in their novelty that this may be one of the reasons why his music has not lost its appeal even in our time. It provides a profound listening experience and constantly challenges the audience. The great interest of the audience in the period leading up to this special concert is proof of this.

Franz Welser-Möst, Music Director of the Cleveland Orchestra

We are looking forward to an unforgettable birthday party!
