eine galaktische Klangerfahrung

„Es war einmal vor langer Zeit in einer weit, weit entfernten Galaxis …“. Wer denkt bei diesen Zeilen nicht sofort an die Marschklänge aus „Star Wars“? „Der Weltraum, unendliche Weiten“ sind das Thema für das Styriarte Youth Orchestra im Sommer 2025. Was die Macher von „Star Trek“ und „Star Wars“ einst beflügelte, lässt auch Mei-Ann Chen und ihre jungen Musiker:innen in Lichtgeschwindigkeit vom Boden abheben. Einsteigen, und los geht die Fahrt – zu den Planeten alla Gustav Holst, zum Reich der Jedi-Ritter und nach Alderaan zu Prinzessin Lea. Eine galaktische Klangerfahrung wartet auf das Styriarte-Publikum, gesteigert durch die Lichteffekte von OchoReSotto.

Styriarte Youth Orchestra

Orchestra

A symphony orchestra of highly qualified and enthusiastic young musicians: that's what Andrés Orozco-Estrada wanted from the Styriarte in 2021 - and that's what he got. Mei-Ann Chen is now taking this orchestra under her wing for the fourth year. The members of the Styriarte Youth Orchestra come from many different countries around the world and work on their programme in an orchestra camp lasting just under a week.

Damen der Camerata Styria

Choir

Masters rarely fall from the sky. Camerata Styria has achieved this rare feat under Sebastian Meixner's direction. Since its first concerts in 2020, the year it was founded, the young choir has delighted audiences with the splendour of its sound and dynamic richness.

Sebastian Meixner

Choir direction

The music teacher and computer scientist, whose main instrument is the piano, has a golden touch for leading groups of people in song. He proves this as co-founder of the youth choir nota bene as well as with his brand new ensemble, the Camerata Styria, which he formed from former members of the Landesjugendchor Cantanima.

Mei-Ann Chen

Conductor

Born in Taiwan, Mei-Ann Chen has lived in the US since 1989 and holds a doctorate in music (conducting) and a master’s degree in violin performance. One of America’s most promising young conductors, she was the first woman to win the Malko International Conductors Competition and has been appointed chief conductor of Recreation Graz beginning fall 2021.
