Festival

Lucerne Summer Festival 2021

Four weeks of more than 100 concerts: International classical music stars in the heart of Switzerland.

Programme
Mieczysław Weinberg: Adagio from the Symphony No. 2, Op. 30
Robert Schumann: Symphony no. 1 in B flat major 'Spring', Op.38
Robert Schumann: Symphony no. 2 in C major, Op.61
Overview

Robert Schumann’s first two symphonies reflect the ups and downs of his life. He composed the Spring Symphony as in a frenzy, within just a few weeks at the beginning of 1841. Newly married and full of inspiration, he set off on a creative flight of fancy. Four years later, when he wrote the Second, things looked very different. Schumann complained of insomnia and dizzy spells, and he suffered from strange anxiety disorders and auditory hallucinations. Only with difficulty did he fight his way out of this crisis with this score. In the finale, which uses a quotation from Beethoven’s song cycle To the Distant Beloved as a confession of love for his wife Clara, healing seems to have been achieved. Or is this work already a harbinger of the final breakdown that would lead to the composer’s admission to a mental hospital in 1854? Lithuanian maestra Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla, who led stellar performances at the 2016 and 2017 Summer Festivals, will offer answers with the Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra as she guides us into the contradictory, miraculous world of Schumann’s music.

This concert is under the auspices of the Friends of Lucerne Festival

Venue Info

KKL Luzern - Lucerne
Location   Europaplatz 1

KKL Luzern’s spectacular architecture designed by Pritzker Prize winner Jean Nouvel and the quality of its facilities set this venue apart from more traditional culture and convention centres. Its trade-mark is the common theme of culture, conferences and culinary choices – the complete experience orchestrated under the famous roof. The building is situated in the heart of Switzerland, only one hour by train from Zurich Airport, within walking distance of Lucerne’s finest hotels and a few sheltered steps from the international railway station. It is the perfect venue for your next premium event, such as product launches, anniversary celebrations and award ceremonies, high-profile meetings, receptions and banquets.

Concert Hall
The showpiece of the KKL Luzern is its renowned Concert Hall with 1,898 seats and acoustics that provide incredible sound and inspire the world’s leading conductors, orchestras and soloists to perform at their best.

Conventions
The outstanding Concert Hall with its multifunctional usage, is also an exciting possibility for conventions. A wide screen is hidden above the stage and may be lowered for awards, product presentations and other events. Interpreting booths and excellent infrastructure are at hand for a most memorable convention or meeting or live television broadcast.

Two water canals frame the Lucerne Hall, a venue that is also unique in its adaptability and convertible for 200 up to 1,800 guests. It can be used for a variety of settings including product presentations, congresses, concerts and banquets. With its appropriate audiovisual facilities, variable height staging and mobile rostrum, all combined with the deliberately simple design of the hall, the organizer will find creative freedom to style the event.

The Auditorium for up to 271 listeners, too, is equipped with state-of-the-art congress installations and, like the Lucerne Hall, provides an attractive setting for conferences. Event organizers are also increasingly discovering the Crystal Lounge, the attractive meeting point in the KKL Luzern. It boasts an oval-shaped bar that can be moved around the space, allowing for maximum flexibility and turning the lounge into a premier events venue.

Culinary experiences
The cuisine facilities of the KKL Luzern offer organizers and guests all kinds of catering options and total culinary experiences. Packages and offers – such as refreshing time-outs, cocktail receptions for networking, stand-up lunches, seated dinners or exclusive lounge experiences – can be tailored to the organizer’s specific needs.
