IS THERE A SECRET FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE STYRIARTE
Festival? No, on the contrary, the recipe is very simple: take
Nikolaus Harnoncourt, one of the few real super stars in the
world of conductors, and invite him to return to his home city
every summer to realise projects that are close to his heart: the
rediscovery of grand music which has faded under the dust of
routine and habit. Take the most beautiful venues Graz has to
offer, from the magnificent Eggenberg Castle with its splendid
park areas to the Helmut List concert hall with its advanced
technical facilities and superb acoustics. And orchestrate a
series of concerts around the central figure of Harnoncourt
where the crème de la crème of international concerts podiums produce extraordinary music in a sometimes unusual and
surprising manner.
Each year’s festival takes place under a specific theme. The
2015 styriarte Festival has taken up the smiley symbol for
coining this year’s motto: “… and laughed”. Humour and wit
are obviously in the centre of this year’s programme. And they
can be as diverse as the festival’s programme, sometimes as
exuberant as in Rossini’s buffonesque opera “The Barber of
Seville”, sometimes as subtle as in Erasmus of Rotterdam’s
“The Praise of Folly”, which is taken up by the Catalan musical
magician Jordi Savall in one extraordinary evening. Nikolaus
Harnoncourt himself builds the greatest arc of suspense, starting with Beethoven’s majestic “Missa solemnis” and finishing
with Haydn’s mischievous Symphony No. 97.
On the following pages you will find a selection of our programme.
