Programme
Bedřich Smetana: Má vlast: Vltava (The Moldau)
Antonín Dvořák: Biblické písne (Biblical songs), Op.99
Antonín Dvořák: Symphony no. 5 in F major, Op.76
Overview

It is not without reason that Smetana is often referred to as the first truly Czech composer, even though he spoke mainly German in the first half of his life. More importantly, however, is the fact that with the cycle of six symphonic poems, “Má Vlast” (“My Fatherland”), he contributed the key work in the establishment of an independent Czech musical culture. If there were an official classical music hit parade, then “Vltava“, the second piece in the cycle, would undoubtedly rank among the front runners. Antonín Dvořák, not quite a generation younger than Smetana, continued his compatriot’s efforts to create a Czech national music with great success, especially in his nine symphonies. While the first four arerelatively early works and ambivalent in their artistic success, Dvořák’sFifth, composed in only six weeks in summer 1875, was truly a firstsymphonic masterpiece. Almost twenty years later – and temporarily resident in the USA – Dvořák, saddened by the death of Tchaikovsky, turned his attention to a series of biblical songs. They are all imbued with a sense of deepest piety, which manifests itself in reverence and unconditional faith in God, but also in jubilant confidence.

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.
