Bruckner Orchester Linz
Biography
The Bruckner Orchester Linz ("Bruckner Orchestra of Linz") is one of the few large orchestras devoted to a composer of the late Romantic era; with between 110 and 130 members, depending on repertory, it is well equipped to realize the giant scores of Anton Bruckner, who came from the Linz area where the orchestra is based. Its repertory extends well beyond the music of Bruckner, however, and it has broadened as the orchestra's international reach has increased. The Bruckner Orchester Linz has recorded several albums by composer Philip Glass and others for Glass' Orange Mountain Music label; its album of selections by Arvo Pärt appeared on the label in 2018. Markus Poschner has been the music director since 2017.
