recreation - GROSSES ORCHESTER GRAZ
As Johann Sebastian Bach put it: “Music’s only purpose should be for the Glory of God and the recreation of the human spirit”. Recreation of the soul, that’s what the orchestra provides for its audience: refreshment, revival, recreation. Furthermore, recreation is what the musicians do: they reconstruct the process of creation by bringing an otherwise lifeless work of art back to life. Since 2002, the musicians of the “recreation” project have been working together in the “Großes Orchester Graz” and have been trying to find new ways to reach this goal.

Felix Austria
Is Austria a happy country? Depends on who you ask …
Let’s ask the rest of the world: The United Nation’s World Happiness Report 2017, which ranks 155 countries by their happiness levels, ranks Austria at the top of the list, in 13th place – almost level with Norway, Denmark and Iceland, the long-time leaders of the ranking. And with the opinion that Austria is a very happy country, the United Nations are in the best of company.
A concert is produced.
A film team accompanied our orchestra in rehearsals and the concert “Drei Klassiker” on March 7 and 8, 2016, at Stefaniensaal.
The result, a wonderful, interesting film about the creation of a concert beginning with the first rehearsals ending with the concert, we show you in this trailer.
