Thanks for 24 years of church music at the Stadtpfarrkirche Graz.
With the inspiring final concert “Sing together” of all choirs of the Stadtpfarrkirche Graz on July 2nd and the “Missa festiva” by JM Michel at the church service for the parish festival on July 3rd, Andrea Fournier made a musical farewell to Graz in order to take up the position of cathedral conductor in the autumn to compete in Salzburg.
As an outstanding organist and choir director, she has shaped the liturgy and church music at the parish church of the Holy Blood in Graz for over two decades and, with her charisma, trained and inspired countless children, young people and adults to sing.
Her great successes include not only the many prizes at international competitions, but also the fact that she gave the singers religious education and their relatives special access to the church through sacred music.
Parish provost Christian Leibnitz thanked Andrea Fournier very warmly for her valuable service and also thanked her husband, opera singer Martin Fournier, and her daughters Sophie, Sarah and Stephanie, who have also played a variety of musical roles in the parish church in recent years. And he wished her – accompanied by the thunderous applause of the parish and the choirs – all the best for her very special new task at Salzburg Cathedral.
