Thursday, 4 September | Ark Nova & KKL Lucerne
A graceful Mozart symphony, Tchaikovsky’s Fifth with its triumphant finale, and Bartók’s Viola Concerto, the poignant farewell of an ingeniously inspired composer. The Mahler Chamber Orchestra’s program leaves nothing to be desired. You will have the opportunity to experience not only this year’s “artiste étoile” violist Tabea Zimmermann, but also Maxim Emelyanychev, one of the most exciting young conductors of this time.
The afternoon will begin with a visit to Ark Nova, followed by an apéro riche on the lake. We would be very happy to receive your personalized registration by August 17. Please use your personal invitation, which you received by email on July 3, to do so. Thank you.
