Konzert Reihe Luzern #KKL | Season opening
«La muse et le poète»
Baiba Skride Violin | Pablo Ferrández Violoncello
"La muse et le poète" is the title of Saint-Saëns' impressionist masterpiece and synonymous with the phenomenal soloist couple: Baiba Skride, who has recently focused intensively on Mozart's violin concertos, and Pablo Ferrández, a young Spanish cellist who, after a steep career ascent as an exclusive Sony artist and at the side of world stars such as Anne-Sophie Mutter, has already arrived on Mount Olympus.
A new chamber music series for Lucerne
Konzert Reihe Luzern #Zeugheersaal
October 11th 2020 | Zeugheersaal
From the 2020/21 season onwards, the Festival Strings Lucerne Chamber Players would like to present themselves regularly to the Lucerne public with their own concert series. The thematic thread in the debut season will be quintets, either with strings only or in combination with piano. This season we have chosen the Zeugheersaal (Hotel Schweizerhof) as the venue.

New CD release
Beethoven's works for violin and orchestra
We are extremely proud and happy to announce the release of our CD with the fabulous violinist Midori for the Warner Classics label. You can now have a look at the cover and listen to audio clips on their website. Recorded at the beginning of March when the very first concerts were cancelled due to the pandemic, this recording takes on a particularly symbolic meaning.
