Franz Liszt has been the lucky star illuminating Alexander Ullman’s career. In 2011, the then 20-year-old British pianist won the Liszt Competition in Budapest, and in 2017 he took first prize at the International Franz Liszt Piano Competition in Utrecht. The jury praised the poetry and rhetoric of his interpretations, but Ullman himself attributes his recipe for success to a much more personal factor: “Whenever I play Liszt, I feel freer.” He has performed with many renowned orchestras, such as the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic, the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, and the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra. He has given concerts in London’s Wigmore Hall, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., the Leipzig Gewandhaus, and the Seoul Arts Center. Ullman’s first solo recording was released in the spring of 2019: an album of transcriptions of Russian ballets. “His speed, transparency, and precision are breathtaking,” wrote the Sunday Times. And Pizzicato was dazzled by his “subtle, cultivated, and always light touch.”

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.
