Patrons' Event

  • 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. Registration will be possible starting in July. Thank you for your patience.

We thank you for your interest and loyalty and look forward to seeing you soon!
