Setting the cultural course: Linz is looking for new leadership for LIVA!

In 2025, important personnel decisions will be made for Linzer Veranstaltungsgesellschaft m.b.H. (LIVA). The positions of artistic and managing director are to be filled in order to set the course for the future of the Brucknerhaus and its diverse events. Meinhard Lukas, Chairman of the LIVA Supervisory Board, emphasizes the enormous importance of these decisions for the development of this unique cultural institution, which also includes the Posthof and Kuddelmuddel. As a first step, HR consultant Gundi Wentner, who specializes in cultural management, has already viewed the applications ORF reported.

Important selection committee

The selection process is accompanied by a top-class commission consisting of important representatives of the cultural scene, including cultural director Julius Stieber and the conductor Franz Welser-Möst. The selection of candidates is expected to take place at the beginning of April, before a proposal for filling the position is sent to Mayor Dietmar Prammer. This person has the final decision-making power regarding personnel changes.

With this call for proposals, LIVA is pursuing a clear strategy to strengthen both internal and external cooperation. The future managing directors will take on a key role in the artistic management of the Brucknerhaus, including the International Bruckner Festival, and will develop innovative programs to reach new target groups. According to information from Trabajo.de Candidates are expected not only to have experience in artistic direction, but also extensive knowledge in the areas of communication and fundraising in order to position LIVA in the international cultural scene.
