«Le Piano Symphonique»
Since 2022, the Swiss city of Lucerne has become a magical place of pilgrimage for piano lovers, radiating like a «beacon in Swiss musical life”, as described by the NZZ. This was the year the Luzerner Sinfonieorchester launched «Le Piano Symphonique», a festival focussed on the piano and its relation to the symphonic sound world. The festival programme includes not only choice recitals, but also intimate chamber music and solo concertos with orchestra. Lucerne is therefore not only «home to a premier piano festival», as the BBC Music Magazine puts it, but also offers a unique opportunity to experience world-renowned artists up close.
