Excerpt from Wikipedia
The Brucknerhaus (German pronunciation: [ˈbʀʊknɐˌhaʊ̯s] (listen)) is a festival and congress centre in Linz, Austria named after the Austrian composer Anton Bruckner. The building was designed by Finnish architects Heikki and Kaija Siren. Its construction took place from 1969 to 1973. It opened on 23 March 1974.
It holds about 200 performances per year, with about 180,000 of total audience. It is home to the Ars Electronica festival and Brucknerfest. In conjunction with the Austrian broadcasting company Österreichischer Rundfunk, it also organizes the Linzer Klangwolke, an annual musical event.
