All rights reserved. WELCOME! What would life be without music? During the coronavirus cri- sis, we painfully learned just how much we lose when we have to forgo live concerts. Even if the pandemic is not yet over, we are looking ahead and have prepared an abundant program for the 2021 Summer Festival – which of course meets all require- ments in place to safeguard health. We have used the mandatory interruption of recent months to make creative changes. Going forward, Lucerne Festival will use a new design to present its programming. We have come up with a clearer guide to events by assigning them to one of three categories. “Symphony” is where you will find all perfor- mances by internationally acclaimed symphony orchestras and celebrated classical music stars. “Contemporary” is the category name for all concerts that focus heavily on modern music. Many of these concerts will be presented by the new Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra (LFCO), the orchestra of excellence committed to performing contemporary scores. Michael Haefliger And “Music for Future” gathers events based on our commit- Executive and Artistic Director ment to the generation of tomorrow, both onstage and in the Lucerne Festival audience. Our preview is now clearer and more spaciously laid out. In addition to the annotated calendar of events, we highlight the “Essentials” that shape the Festival each year: the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, Lucerne Festival Academy, composer- in-residence, and “artiste étoile,” as well as the 40min series. And under the “Specials” category we present the thematic focal points of the Festival. The overarching theme in 2021 is “crazy” – a topic that gives us quite a lot to look forward to! We hope that you have made it through these crazy times. And we are delighted to welcome you back in the summer of 2021.

  • Media Release Wolfgang Rihm Is the LUCERNE
    Media Release Wolfgang Rihm Is the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ACADEMY’s New Artistic Director Matthias Pintscher Named Principal Conductor Lucerne, 04 September 2015 . Starting in the summer of 2016, the German composer Wolfgang Rihm will assume overall artistic directorship of the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ACADEMY. The conductor and composer Matthias Pintscher will support him as Principal Conductor and will be responsible each summer for a central Academy program; he will additionally focus on developing the Academy Orchestra. Both contracts are for a period of five years. The founder of the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ACADEMY, Pierre Boulez, will continue to remain in close dialogue with Wolfgang Rihm, Matthias Pintscher, and the Festival team as Honorary President of the Academy. For twelve years the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ACADEMY has been regarded as a unique international educational campus in the field of contemporary classical music of the 20th and 21st centuries. It offers continuing training not only for some 120 instrumentalists between 18 and 32 years of age but also for young directors and composers. “I am extremely delighted that in the person of Wolfgang Rihm a leading figure of contemporary music will be taking over artistic leadership of the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ACADEMY,” remarks Michael Haefliger, LUCERNE FESTIVAL’s Executive and Artistic Director. “On the strength of his experience and his knowledge in connection with the Academy, Wolfgang Rihm will be in a position to establish new directions for linking creativity with effective ways of working together for young instrumentalists, conductors, and composers. This summer Matthias Pintscher has returned for a third time as a teacher and conductor to help shape the Academy’s work in marvelous ways, as seen for example in the recent “Day for Pierre Boulez”.

Notes ON THE MUSIC – TON’S KADEN HENDERSON ON ARTHUR HONEGGER’S RUGBY MATT DINE MATT Full Contact Music Honegger’s second tone poem, entitled Rugby, which we will be hearing today, was composed in 1928. Although it bears the name Rugby, the composer himself insisted that this work was not programmatic in a traditional sense. Despite what Honegger may have said, it takes little imagination to find oneself in the middle of the pitch dodging tack- les left and right from the very first note. Immediately from the downbeat it is apparent that Honegger is not alluding to two-hand-touch rugby, but rather the sport in its full contact, “hold no pris- oners” variety.

  • Han Chen / Piano
    HAN CHEN / PIANO Hailed by the New York Times as a pianist with "a graceful touch... rhythmic precision... hypnotic charm” and "sure, subtle touch," Han Chen is a distinctive artist whose credentials at a young age already include important prizes in competitions of traditional music as well as increasing respect in the avant- garde. Mr. Chen’s debut CD with Naxos Records, which consists of all-Liszt operatic transcriptions, was released in January 2016 as the first prize winner of the 6th China International Piano Competition. Gramophone complimented Mr. Chen’s “brilliant performance” in the CD as “impressively commanding and authoritative.” The website Classics Today also praised for his “assured, elegant and totally effortless technique” by scoring 10 out of 10 in both artistic quality and sound quality. International Piano magazine (UK) described Mr. Chen’s performance in the competition as “[Chen] displayed extraordinary strength, talent and flair.” His performances in the 15th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, the 15th Arthur Rubinstein Piano Competition and the 2018 Honens International Piano Competition were also highly acclaimed. As a soloist, Mr. Chen has appeared with many orchestras, including the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra (under Maestro Vladimir Ashkenazy), Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, China Symphony Orchestra, Macao Orchestra, Juilliard Orchestra, National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra, Xiamen National Orchestra, Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra, Sendai Philharmonic Orchestra, Aspen Music Festival Brass Ensemble and Shanghai Conservatory Middle School Orchestra. Being an advocate for modern music, Mr. Chen actively performs music from the 20th and the 21st century. As a member of the New York-based contemporary music group Ensemble Échappé, he worked with composers such as Tonia Ko, Kevin Puts, Sean Shepherd and Nina Young.

  • Nuveen Investments Emerging Artist Violinist Julia Fischer Joins the Cso and Riccardo Muti for June Subscription Concerts at Symphony Center
    For Immediate Release: Press Contacts: June 13, 2016 Eileen Chambers, 312-294-3092 Photos Available By Request [email protected] NUVEEN INVESTMENTS EMERGING ARTIST VIOLINIST JULIA FISCHER JOINS THE CSO AND RICCARDO MUTI FOR JUNE SUBSCRIPTION CONCERTS AT SYMPHONY CENTER June 16 – 21, 2016 CHICAGO—Internationally acclaimed violinist Julia Fischer returns to Symphony Center for subscription concerts with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) led by Music Director Riccardo Muti on Thursday, June 16, at 8 p.m., Friday, June 17, at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, June 18, at 8 p.m., and Tuesday, June 21, at 7:30 p.m. The program features Brahms’ Serenade No. 1 and Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D Major with Fischer as soloist. Fischer’s CSO appearances in June are endowed in part by the Nuveen Investments Emerging Artist Fund, which is committed to nurturing the next generation of great classical music artists. Julia Fischer joins Muti and the CSO for Beethoven’s Violin Concerto. Widely recognized as the first “Romantic” concerto, Beethoven’s lush and virtuosic writing in the work opened the traditional form to new possibilities for the composers who would follow him. The second half of the program features Brahms’ Serenade No. 1. Originally composed as chamber music, Brahms later adapted the work for full orchestra, offering a preview of the rich compositional style that would emerge in his four symphonies. The six-movement serenade is filled with lyrical wind and string passages, as well as exuberant writing in the allegro and scherzo movements. German violinist Julia Fischer won the Yehudi Menuhin International Violin Competition at just 11, launching her career as a solo and orchestral violinist.

  • KIT ARMSTRONG Pianist/Komponist/Organist/Dirigent
    KIT ARMSTRONG Pianist/Komponist/Organist/Dirigent Kaum ein Musiker verdient den Titel „Ausnahme‐Künstler“ wie der 1992 in Los Angeles geborene Kit Armstrong. Von der Süddeutschen Zeitung als „Staunen erregend, nur als musikalisches Phänomen zu charakterisierend“ beschrieben, begeistert der erst 27‐Jährige weltweit nicht nur auf höchstem künstlerischen Niveau am Klavier, sondern auch an der Orgel, am Dirigentenpult und auch als gefragter Komponist. Seit frühester Jugend verzaubert Armstrong das Publikum in Sälen wie dem Musikverein Wien, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, der Philharmonie Berlin, der Hamburger Elbphilharmonie, der NHK Hall Tokio oder dem Palais des Beaux‐Arts Brüssel. Armstrong arbeitet mit bedeutenden Dirigenten wie Christian Thielemann, Herbert Blomstedt, Riccardo Chailly, Kent Nagano, Manfred Honeck, Esa‐Pekka Salonen, Mario Venzago und Thomas Dausgaard zusammen und war bereits bei einigen der wichtigsten Orchester der Welt zu Gast, darunter die Wiener Philharmoniker, die Staatskapelle Dresden, das Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Gewandhausorchester, NHK Symphony Orchestra und die Academy of St Martin in the Fields. Bei den Festspielen Mecklenburg‐Vorpommern war Kit Armstrong im Sommer 2018 Preisträger in Residence. Das Musikkollegium Winterthur hat ihn zum „Artist‐ in‐Resonance“ berufen. 2018 erhielt er den Beethoven‐Ring von der Gesellschaft „Bürger für Beethoven“ in der Nachfolge von Igor Levit. Aktuell ist Kit Armstrong als Pianist u.a. zu Gast bei der Deutschen Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, beim Luzerner Sinfonieorchester, beim Münchner Kammerorchester, Stuttgarter Kammerorchester und dem Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse. Klavier‐Rezitale führen ihn u.a. ins Wiener Konzerthaus, Lincoln Center in New York, Rheingau Musik Festival, Münchner Prinzregententheater, zum Klavierfestival Ruhr und zur Schubertiade Hohenems. Als Organist freut sich Kit Armstrong auf Konzerte in der Philharmonie de Luxembourg, im Wiener Konzerthaus und beim Brucknerfest Linz.
