He is one of the most exciting young conductors out there, he is a true cosmopolitan, and he will be making his Lucerne Festival debut this August: What a joy to welcome Klaus Mäkelä to our series "Michael & Friends"!

But wait ... did we just say he will be making his Lucerne Festival debut? Technically this is true, he has never conducted here before. But did you know that exactly ten years ago, then 17-years-old Mäkelä was among the listeners at Bernard Haitink's Lucerne Masterclass? Hear this anecdote and much more in the friendly conversation between Klaus Mäkelä and Michael Haefliger.
