Overview

To ring in the New Year, American baritone Thomas Hampson and violinist Daniel Hope present a dazzling concert featuring great American composers such as Leonard Bernstein, George Gershwin, Harold Arlen, and Kurt Weill. All of them shaped and enriched American musical culture with their incomparable compositions, blending classical music traditions with influences from jazz, blues, and film music.

Thomas Hampson is one of the most innovative and multifaceted musicians of our time. For the past 20 years, he has poured his heart and soul into the "Song of America" ​​project, a vast archive of songs that, as Hampson says, "tells the story of our culture and nation through the eyes of our poets and the ears of our composers."

Equally active is the star violinist Daniel Hope. In addition to solo recitals, chamber music concerts, and collaborations with leading orchestras worldwide, he serves as artistic director of the Frauenkirche Dresden and the Gstaad Menuhin Festival. As Music Director of the renowned Zurich Chamber Orchestra, he has led this venerable ensemble from the violin for nearly ten years. His album "America," released in February 2022 and recorded with the Zurich Chamber Orchestra, the Marcus Roberts Trio, and Joy Denalane, is an exquisite musical dialogue between jazz and classical music and a love letter to American musical culture from the mid-1930s to the late 1960s.

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.
