12 projects on 14 islands of music
The Styriarte’s 40th birthday present to itself and Graz is a cheerful little musical festival. Twelve projects, divided into fourteen music islands, invite you to join the celebrations.
We aim to surprise the people of Graz and their guests with a light-hearted programme to show what the Styriarte of today and tomorrow can and wishes to be. The performances are free of charge.
The Styriarte Cycling Concert 2025 is also a part of “Vorspiel” (prelude). Five short concerts are performed along the route. We cycle in groups with a guide, approximately 20 kilometres altogether. The trip starts at Nikolaus Harnoncourt Parc.
