Festival

Lucerne Summer Festival 2021

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

Programme

Robert Schumann: Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D minor WoO 23
Robert Schumann: Symphony no. 3 in E flat major 'Rhenish', Op.97
Overview

With his complete recording plus a concert film about the four Schumann symphonies, Paavo Järvi created a sensation – and set interpretive standards. Like few others, the Estonian maestro knows how to penetrate to the interior of these scores. “Schumann has the ability to suddenly change from the deepest melancholy, sadness, and depression into a firework of joy. That is unique,” Järvi believes. “He felt that music should never be written for its own sake. There seems to be a story behind each of his compositions.” With the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich and the Rhenish Symphony, Järvi recounts the initial euphoria that overwhelmed Schumann when he moved to Düsseldorf in 1850 to take up the post of music director. With Christian Tetzlaff and the late Violin Concerto, however, the program escorts us into the composer’s darkest period. The work was considered so crazy and infected by “madness” that it was never played during Schumann’s lifetime and only received its premiere 84 years late, in 1937.

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.
