The Bruckner Orchestra Linz, which looks back upon more than 200 years of history and tradition and officially adopted its current name in 1967, has developed into one of the leading orchestras in Central Europe during recent decades. The members of BOL constitute not only the symphony orchestra of the state of Upper Austria, but also the featured orchestra for musical productions at the Landestheater Linz. Its home is the Musiktheater Linz - one of Europe's most modern theatre buildings. As an ambassador of Upper Austria and of its namesake, the BOL appears regularly on international stages. Since Markus Poschner became its chief conductor in the autumn of 2017, this orchestra has been undergoing an unprecedented process of opening toward the outside, generating many new concert formats, seeking out unexpected performance places, finding surprising pathways in education, and first and foremost offering artistic events which meet with high resonance from audience and press due to their immediacy and intensity. Markus Poschner and the BOL are exploring their very own version of the music of the orchestra’s namesake, rendering it in an unmistakable, Upper Austrian musical dialect. Since 2012 the Buckner Orchestra Linz has had its own concert cycle at Vienna’s Musikverein; from 2020, this was joined by another cycle at the Brucknerhaus in Linz.
