Programme
West-Eastern Divan Orchestra / Daniel Barenboim / Anne-Sophie Mutter
Overview

André Previn (1930–2019) - Violin Concerto (“Anne-Sophie”), 3rd movement
Jean Sibelius (1865–1957) - Concerto for violin and orchestra in D minor, Op. 47
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) - Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92

The French Revolution resounds in Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony. This score’s stirring rhythms and fanfares, along with the rousing musical euphoria that ultimately seems to intensify into a rage: all of this seems to reflect the image of the unleashed masses of people who rebelled against the power of the nobility. No wonder that for the writer Bettina von Arnim, this Symphony’s sound world even gave her the impression that she should be waving banners to lead a multitude assembled in protest. But for Daniel Barenboim and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, Beethoven’s Seventh has another meaning. This was the first work that they rehearsed in 1999, immediately after this utopian orchestral project that unites religions, cultures, and nations was founded. To mark its 20th anniversary in the summer of 2019, the Seventh will therefore be back on the program. And with the violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, an eminent well-wisher will also join in. She will play the ravishing Violin Concerto by the Finn Jean Sibelius, a work that seems to conjure up ancient rituals with its spellbinding, crystalline sounds and its pounding rhythms. And she will commemorate the composer, conductor, and pianist André Previn, who died in February, with the finale from the Violin Concerto Previn composed for her.

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.
