“You have every reason to be happy about this music school,” said the moderator of the festival concert “Musikschule Linz goes Brucknerhaus”, Ö1 music expert Albert Hosp, on Friday in the Brucknerhaus. With 4,200 students, the Linz music school is the largest musical educational institution in the country – which knows how to draw musically from the full. This was substantiated at the two-year delayed celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding.
In addition to the festival concert of the music school orchestra and the United Voices choir, which received standing ovations, the singing and rhythm school and the popular music department dubbed the “Pop Factory” presented themselves during the day. The singing school fascinated with the children’s musical “Ritter Rust und die Hexe Versteckse” in the Brucknerhaus: 1200 elementary school children and half a dozen pop and jazz bands brought harmonious “Summer.City.Sound” to the music pavilion.
“This musical birthday celebration impressively demonstrated the enormous creative power of the Linz music school,” said a delighted Christian Denkmaier, who has been running the school for two decades.
