Michael & Friends: With Pablo Heras-Casdao

Our series "Michael & Friends" is back and as the first guest of 2024, Lucerne Festival Director Michael Haefliger welcomes conductor Pablo Heras-Casado. Heras-Casado, who will be conducting the Lucerne Festival Orchestra at the 2024 Spring Festival, has been involved with Lucerne Festival for a long time: he was trained by Pierre Boulez while still at the Lucerne Festival Academy and has returned to Lucerne many times since.

Of course, Pablo Heras-Casado's memories of the Lucerne Festival Academy are a topic of conversation, but Heras-Casado and Michael Haefliger also chat about conducting tradition with Beethoven, starting your very own festival, and much more.
