The Mariinsky Orchestra’s tour of Europe continues. On 31 August the orchestra will be performing under the baton of Valery Gergiev at the Lucerne Festival (Switzerland).
The Mariinsky Orchestra’s performance at the Lucerne Festival will take place at the KKL Culture and Congress Centre on the shore of Lake Lucerne which was built in 2000 by the architect Jean Nouvel. The concert hall, which has 1800 seats, forms part of the contemporary Lucerne Culture and Congress Centre.
Under the baton of Valery Gergiev the Mariinsky Orchestra will perform the Prelude to Act I of Richard Wagner’s opera Lohengrin, Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony and Frédéric Chopin’s Second Piano Concerto. The soloist will be Daniil Trifonov.
The summer festival, which was founded in 1938 as a series of concerts that were conducted by the legendary Italian maestro Arturo Toscanini in the gardens opposite Richard Wagner’s villa in the Swiss village of Tribschen on the shore of Vierwaldstättersee (Lake Lucerne), has become one of the largest in the world, featuring performances by renowned orchestras, conductors and soloists.
