About the Artistic director
Artistic director at Styriarte

He then worked as a freelance journalist for the Kleine Zeitung newspaper and ORF, while also serving as a research assistant at the Institute of Musicology in Graz. It was in this role that he first came into contact with the Styriarte Festival, which was founded in 1985, as he was responsible for its academic supervision.
