On Tour 2024

After the Summer Festival in Lucerne the tour still lies ahead: the Lucerne Festival Orchestra regularly hits the road to tour in autumn. The musicians have previously undertaken tours to Rome, Vienna, Madrid, and Paris; to Baden-Baden, Hamburg, and Luxembourg; to London, New York, Ferrara, and Moscow; and to Tokyo and Seoul, to Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.

In the fall of 2024, the musicians once again went on a concert tour under the direction of their Music Director Riccardo Chailly. This time, they performed in two fantastic concert halls, both of which opened just within the past decade: the Philharmonie in Paris (18 October) and the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg (19 October). The emerging Swedish violin star Daniel Lozakovich, who caused a sensation at the Lucerne Festival Orchestra’s Spring Festival in March, was the soloist. Their program combined Jean Sibelius’s Violin Concerto with the Symphonic Dances from Sergei Rachmaninoff’s last years – a work that offers a magnificent, colorful retrospective of the life of this erstwhile resident of Lucerne.
