    Amt der Steiermärkischen Landesregierung Abteilung 9 – Kultur Kulturförderungsbericht 2006 Impressum Medieninhaber: Land Steiermark Abteilung 9 - Kultur des Amtes der Steiermärkischen Landesregierung Trauttmansdorffgasse 2, 8010 Graz Hergestellt in Graz durch "Medienfabrik Graz" Irrtum und Druckfehler vorbehalten VORWORT Transparent gestalten und Neues ermöglichen: Nach einstimmigem Beschluss des Landtag Steiermark trat am 1. Dezember 2005 das neue Steiermärkische Kultur- und Kunstförderungsgesetz in Kraft und eröffnete eine neue Phase in der steirischen Kulturförderung. Die einzelnen Neuerun- gen sind im Detail auf www.kultur.steiermark.at verzeichnet. Sie schaffen nun auf beiden Seiten Sicherheiten, einerseits für KünstlerInnen und Kultur- veranstalterInnen, andererseits für Politik und Verwaltung: Die Förderungsmöglichkeiten wurden definiert. Spätestens 14 Wochen nach Vorliegen der vollständigen Unterlagen ist eine Entscheidung fällig. Für Förderungen des Landes über 3.500 Euro ist eine Empfehlung des Förderbeirats bzw. der ihm zur Seite gestellten FachexpertInnen einzuholen. Transparenz, Ausgewogenheit und Schwerpunkt auf zeitgenössische Kunst und Kultur sind verpflichtende Ziele. Basisförderungen (also mittelfristige Förder-Vereinbarungen) wurden gesetzlich geregelt. Kunst im öffentlichen Raum (in der sinnvollen Erweiterung von Kunst am Bau) ist eine Pflichtleistung des Landes Steiermark mit einem Fonds, an dem alle Ressorts der Stmk. Landesregierung beteiligt sind. Auch die für steirische Verhältnisse "großen Brocken" (Bühnen, Landesmuseen etc.) sind von diesem Gesetz erfasst. Eine neue Kultur im Umgang miteinander war gefragt und nach eineinhalb Jahren praktischer Erfahrung mit dem neuen Förderungsgesetz, mit insgesamt 1.500 Ansuchen inklusive Erweiterung (!) der Fördervereinbarungen für die Jahre 2007 bis 2009, kann ich sagen: Der Übergang ist fast ausnahmslos ohne Probleme gelungen. Den erfreulich kooperationsfähigen FörderungswerberInnen und dem zuständigen Referat in der A9 - Kulturabteilung danke ich dafür ganz ausdrücklich.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE THE FINEST MUSIC FOR AN AUDIENCE OF A MILLION IN ITS FOURTH SEASON, THE ELBPHILHARMONIE PRESENTS MUSIC FROM GREAT BRITAIN, PLACES COMPOSERS WEINBERG, XENAKIS, CHIN, REITER AND GUBAIDULINA IN THE SPOTLIGHT, PLAYS LOADS OF HANDEL, CONGRATULATES BEETHOVEN ON HIS BIRTHDAY, AND HAS LOTS MORE TO OFFER BESIDES. Hamburg, 29 April 2019: With over 2 million concertgoers and some 10 million visitors to the Plaza since its opening in January 2017, the Elbphilharmonie looks forward to an extremely rich and varied concert programme for its 2019/20 season. Once again, some 380 concerts are planned in the Grand Hall out of a total of about 1,250 events at the Elbphilharmonie and the Laeiszhalle. The Grand Hall continues to be booked practically to capacity. General & Artistic Director Christoph Lieben-Seutter presented the highlights of the two concert halls' in-house promoted events this morning. The new season kicks off in October with the »Britain Calling« festival, featuring four concerts under the baton of Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla, the charismatic principal conductor of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Six performances of operas and operettas by George Frideric Handel with first-class artists form a musical and historical balance to diverse, multi-part portraits of the composers Iannis Xenakis, Mieczysław Weinberg, Eva Reiter and Sofia Gubaidulina as well as of Unsuk Chin, the Composer in Residence of the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, whose new chief conductor Alan Gilbert will take up his position at the beginning of the season. To mark the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven’s birth, complete cycles of the composer's works are performed by Igor Levit, Sir András Schiff, the Vienna Philharmonic under Andris Nelsons and the Quatuor Ébène.

    PIANOMANIA Film documentaire de Lilian Franck et Robert Cibis - Allemagne / Autriche - 2010 - 1h35 - VOSTF – 1,29Go résolution DVD – Avec le génial et toujours joyeux Stefan Knüpfer de chez Steinway & Sons, et les musiciens Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Alfred Brendel, Lang Lang, Till Fellner… pas n’importe lequel, l’accordeur en chef de la célèbre maison « Steinway & Sons » qui fabrique des pianos d’une qualité exceptionnelle, des pianos hors du commun et accessoirement hors de prix. On pourrait se dire naïvement que de tels instruments produisent naturellement le son parfait et que le travail de l’accordeur doit être bien aisé. Détrompez- vous, malheureux ! Car un piano est un être fragile qu’un long voyage, une hygrométrie différente peut perturber. Et surtout chaque grand interprète a son idée du son qu’il désire : les désirs des plus grands musiciens n’ont pas de limite, et le rôle de Stefan Knüpfer est de les exaucer. Sa mission : entamer avec le virtuose un dialogue parfois de plusieurs mois avant un grand concert, un enregistrement d’un chef d’œuvre pour arriver à obtenir au millimètre près si l’on ose dire le son qu’il souhaite. On voit l’ami Stefan côtoyer le jeune prodige chinois Lang Lang (qui s’enthousiasma pour la musique dès l’âge de trois ans, en entendant l’interprétation de Liszt par Tom dans le dessin animé Tom & Jerry), Alfred Brendel, Till Fellner… mais surtout Pierre- Laurent Aimard, qui s’apprête à enregistrer pour Deutsche Grammophon L’Art de la Fugue de Bach. Le cinéma est parfois capable de traduire et donc de Et c’est avec cet artiste que le boulot de Knüpfer communiquer une passion irrépressible.
