Michael & Friends: With Kelly Hall-Tompkins

Former violinist and New Yorker meets current violinist and New Yorker: For the final episode of our series "Michael & Friends" before the start of our Summer Festival 2024, Lucerne Festival Director Michael Haefliger sat down with soloist Kelly Hall-Tompkins. Enjoying a lively chat and listening to some musical excerpts, Haefliger and Hall-Tompkins discussed their musical upbringing, reaching out to new audiences, Wynton Marsalis' Violin Concerto, the Festival's theme of "Curiosity", and much more. One of the two even outed themselves as a Swiftie – can you guess who?
