Upper Austria - TIPPS & NEWS

Music seems to be the spiritual fuel of Upper Austria. Wherever you go, you´ll be confronted with an array of music events, ranging from traditional folk music to experimental avant-garde.

For decades Kremsmünster Abbey has been renown for its musical tradition and its excellent music school. The most important composer of Upper Austria was Anton Bruckner (1824-1896), who worked as an organ player in St. Florian, Linz and Vienna. In 1924 the first "Bruckner Weeks" were held in Linz to celebrate the artist¿s 100th birthday. Linz has been running the annual "Bruckner Festival" since 1974. During the last years other towns (e.g. Gmunden and Bad Ischl) have started to arrange festivals and concert series as well. Some 450 brass bands keep the spirit of traditional Austrian brass music alive. However, Upper Austria is also a place for modern culture. The best-known example is the Ars Electronica Festival, offering a perfect blend of art and latest technologies.
