The Meerschein concert series in the Minoritesaal presents its programme for the new season
Anniversary! Anniversary! The 40th edition of the Graz Meerschein Concerts proudly steps forward – slightly moved by this impressive milestone – to present itself to its highly esteemed audience. Once again, we bring you the most colourful and freshest music programme imaginable. Sometimes purely classical, at other times building bridges from pop to baroque. We take excursions to the Scottish Highlands and the Norwegian fjords. We meet old acquaintances and brand-new faces alike, but in every case, the most wonderful musicians from Alsergrund to Barcelona. Please all aboard. The train is leaving!
Just to be clear: the Meerschein Concerts will continue to be held in the beautiful Minoriten Hall. There are fresh tickets, new subscriptions, plenty of good cheer, and always to be expected: musical highlights. Our performances each last around 70 minutes without an interval, and the buffet is open for you before and after the show.
