Festival

Lucerne Piano Festival 2019

Nine days of keyboard wizardry: November brings the master pianists to Lucerne. Ticket sales for the Piano Festival have begun.

Overview

“Gegen den Strich: Revolutionäre und Störenfriede” (“Against the Grain: Revolutionaries and Troublemakers”)

(in German)

Since 2003, Martin Meyer has regularly been giving presentations on the art of piano playing during the Piano Festival. In these piano lectures, which to date number more than forty, he has reflected on themes related to music for the instrument but has also focused on important pianists and their unique characteristics. Arthur Rubinstein, Vladimir Horowitz, Glenn Gould, Martha Argerich, and Mikhail Pletnev have numbered among the many figures in these discussions, with lots of musical examples and often surprising images to illustrate his points. And sometimes guests have also participated. For example, Alfred Brendel looked back on his role models for interpretation, while Sir András Schiff has spoken about Schubert. For this conclusion of the series, Meyer will take stock and show over the course of his two final lectures what matters when the keys are expected to speak and sing. This will be a journey through time in two parts, leading us through the exciting developments of the 20th century to the present day: music and its interpretation, as always enriched with many examples and with Meyer’s personal experiences and memories.

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.
