In Summer Music for All Seasons

MUSIC FOR ALL SEASONS LUCERNE FESTIVAL at Easter | 19 – 28 March 2010 LUCERNE FESTIVAL in Summer | 12 August – 18 September 2010 LUCERNE FESTIVAL at the Piano | 22 – 28 November 2010

KKL Lucerne Claudio Abbado Lucerne Pierre Boulez Program Synopsis 2010 www.lucernefestival.ch

Dear Friends of Music: The whole year at a glance: this fl yer gives you a neat synopsis of our plans for the entire LUCERNE FESTIVAL throughout 2010, covering Easter and Summer as well as the November Piano series. For the fi rst time, you can fi nd all three of the “seasons” that make up LUCERNE FESTIVAL combined in a single publication. The fl yer is conveniently arranged to serve as an indispensable concert-planner, easy to fi t into a pocket or handbag. When completely unfolded, it readily serves as a guide to every concert programmed for 2010. And what you see at a glance will astonish you: The repertoire that has been planned for the next twelve months is rich indeed. Stirring and atmospheric music-making, powerful feelings, and infectious excitement are on tap for the Easter Festival, which launches with a residency by the Venezuelan Youth Orchestra. This ensemble of highly gifted young South Americans will present three programs, to be led by Claudio Abbado, Gustavo Dudamel, and Diego Matheuz. Compositions inspired by the Passion story will of course be featured, in works by Bach and Beethoven. Music of a spiritually uplifting nature will also be celebrated when the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra engages with Anton Bruckner’s legacy during its Easter residency. “Eros” is the motto for this year’s Summer Festival, which is centered around the stories of famous lovers. Claudio Abbado and the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA sing the praises of true love and fi delity as expressed in Beethoven’s Fidelio, while Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Philharmonia Orchestra perform Tristan und Isolde in a concert production directed by Peter Sellars. We hear the moving love-tragedy of Romeo and Juliet as retold in Sergei Prokofi ev’s ballet, and we encounter the couple Pelleas and Melisande in scores by such varied composers as Fauré and Sibelius. Our featured “artiste étoile,” pianist Hélène Grimaud, will present all the facets of her artistry as she performs piano concertos and chamber music and partners with singers in recital. This year brings us a Swiss artist, Dieter Ammann, as our composer-in-residence, while we recognize Switzerland’s intensely active music scene with a total of 25 world premières and a program focus on Swiss contemporaries (“(z)eidgenössisCH”). And with his LUCERNE FESTIVAL ACADEMY, Pierre Boulez will explore Mahler and Stravinsky: a genuine musical declaration of love. As we turn to November, Lucerne is transformed once again into a Mecca of pianism. We have extended invitations to Evgeny Kissin, András Schiff, Andreas Staier, Grigory Sokolov, and Pierre-Laurent Aimard to perform in recital. Bernard Haitink and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe will inaugurate their Brahms cycle with the two piano concertos, featuring Emanuel Ax as soloist. Something here is sure to strike your fancy! I hope reading about the year ahead fi lls you with pleasant anticipation and I look forward to many encounters with you, whether at the Easter, Summer, or Piano Festival. Michael Haefl iger, Executive and Artistic Director IN SUMMER 12 August – 18 September 2010

Acknowledgments

The cultivation of content-rich projects in collaboration with renowned partners from the commercial sphere is a special concern of LUCERNE FESTIVAL. As “Resident Sponsors,” such corporations enter into a long-term partnership with the Festival and support the development and implementation of individual artistic concepts. Credit Suisse allows for the residency of the Vienna Philharmonic, and in addition the Credit Suisse Foundation supports young talents with two alternating award series. NESTLÉ S.A. has committed itself to the ambitious idea of an in-house Festival orchestra: its contributions make the annual residency of the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA under Claudio Abbado possible. In addition, as tour sponsor, this corporation underwrites the orchestra’s performances abroad. Roche Commissions is a pioneering initiative in cultural sponsoring whereby, in partnership with LUCERNE FESTIVAL, Carnegie Hall in New York, and The Cleveland Orchestra, Roche regularly commissions a new work by a distinguished contemporary composer—Toshio Hosokawa in 2010—and enables its world premiere in Lucerne as well as the ﬁ rst North American performance in New York. Zurich Insurance Company Ltd focuses its commitment on the LUCERNE FESTIVAL’s Easter and Summer seasons, as well as on the association of the American Friends of LUCERNE FESTIVAL, which supports the presence of American artists and orchestras in Lucerne. LUCERNE FESTIVAL gratefully acknowledges all “Resident Sponsors” of the Summer 2010 programs for their extraordinary commitment.
