The Lucerne Festival is Switzerland’s largest classical music festival. This year it is a grand and exciting event under the theme “Open End” and is held from August 12 to September 14.
This year’s edition is dedicated to the final summer festival under Executive and Artistic Director Michael Haefliger, who has been at the helm of the festival since 1999. About 120 events are planned within the framework of the festival, including the premiere of Mahler's 10th Symphony, 27 symphony concerts, solo performances, chamber music, family evenings and concerts. Among them are "40 Minutes", "On the Streets" and a performance by a symphony orchestra on the lake shore.
Resident composer Marco Stroppa will delight the audience with new works in a duet with famous "etoile artists" Winnie Huang and Tabea Zimmermann. One of the highlights will be the European debut of Ark Nova, an inflatable mobile concert hall created by Anish Kapoor and Arata Isozaki. From September 4 to September 14, 35 interdisciplinary performances in the format of short musical numbers will take place in this unusual space.
The festival will also mark the centenary of Pierre Boulez's birth. In honor of this event, a special series "Boulez's Cosmos" will be released, which explores his views on composition as an ever evolving and never-ending creative process.
