Programme
Ludwig van Beethoven: Violin Concerto in D major, Op.61
Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony no. 7 in A major, Op.92
Overview

The Spaniard Pablo Heras-Casado will preside over this magic from the podium: he was still by Pierre Boulez in the Lucerne Festival Academy and thrilled the audience on the occasion of the Festival’s 75th anniversary in 2013 with an enthrallingly powerful interpretation of Beethoven’s Fifth symphony. He has long since become an international star and recently enjoyed sensational success at the Bayreuth Festival with his Parsifal. The 22-year-old Swedish violinist Daniel Lozakovich, who has already been proclaimed “prince of the violin,” makes his debut as the soloist.

For us today, Beethoven is a classical composer who sets aside all doubts. In his time, however, many of his works had a shocking effect on the public. Take the Violin Concerto, which, with its epic length of more than 40 minutes, surpassed everything known up till then. Its solo part, which soars to the very highest heights, is heavenly and breathtaking. Beethoven took an even more extreme approach in his Seventh Symphony, relying entirely on the elemental force of rhythm and dance-like energy. We are drawn into a maelstrom as we experience the sheer frenzy of this music, which gives the impression by the end that the entire concert hall is about to take off into orbit.

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.
