The recent concert tour of the UK by the Bruckner Orchestra Linz was made even more memorable for a favoured few who were invited to a reception at The Austrian Residence, in London’s Belgrave Square, at the end of April.
In the presence of the Austrian Ambassador to the UK, Dr Martin Eichtinger, the Director of the Bruckner Orchestra Linz, Uwe Schmitz-Gielsdorf, and Georg Steiner, the Managing Director of the Linz Tourist Board, there was time for presentations on Linz and the orchestra’s repertoire, a (live) sample of chamber music from some of its members, and then some refreshments. By 7pm, it was time to embark on the short – but rainy – walk from the Residence to The Cadogan Hall, for the second of the Bruckner Orchestra Linz’s two concerts at that venue.
