Liva is looking for new managers: Appeal for Linz's cultural scene!

The Linz event company (Liva) is faced with a drastic change of management. From December 21, two key positions will be advertised: that of the commercial and artistic management, whereby the application period runs until January 31, 2025. This measure follows the recent scandal, which led to the separation from Dietmar Kerschbaum and René Esterbauer, as Meinbezirk reported . The chairman of the supervisory board, Meinhard Lukas, made it clear in a press conference: The new managers should form a team and take over complex management tasks that go beyond the traditional division of responsibilities.

realignment of the Bruckner Festival in focus

For the artistic management, which focuses on the Brucknerhaus and its renowned events, a realignment of the Bruckner Festival is required. Lukas emphasizes that culture must have a socio -political relevance. The new commercial managing director should take over the overall responsibility for the LIVA and optimize all organizational aspects. At the moment, Johanna Möslinger and Alexander Stefan lead the company interim of the company until the new managing directors can start their service in July 2025, such as Wiener Nachrichten .

The selection of the new managers is carried out by a top-class commission that combines experts from the cultural and event industry. This will be digitally advised in a first meeting in January. The final decision should be made by a multi -stage hearing in April, with a clear focus on transparency and confidentiality during the entire process. "The new management has to shine the areas in the external impact," says Lukas, and that not only requires strategic skill, but also a harmonious cooperation between the new directors.
