Pastorale

What's it about?

The landscape of East Tyrol becomes a stage: the Lienz Symphony Orchestra performs Beethoven's "Pastorale" to images from the region. On November 21 and 22, 2026, the Lienz Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Gerald Mair, will for the first time combine a complete concert program with a specially produced visual layer at the Stadtsaal Lienz. East Tyrol native photo and video artist Sascha Schernthaner filmed in various locations across East Tyrol over several weeks and months for this project. The program includes Bedřich Smetana's "From Bohemia's Forests and Fields" and Ludwig van Beethoven's 6th Symphony, the "Pastorale." The orchestra, under Gerald Mair's direction, is already in the rehearsal phase. About 50 musicians from East Tyrol, Carinthia, and South Tyrol will perform. Performance times: Saturday at 7:30 PM, Sunday at 6:00 PM. Ticket sales: Tourism Information Lienz, Mühlgasse 11, 9900 Lienz. Online tickets: www.sinfonieorchester-lienz.at.
