Last night, we shared the stage with the wonderful Francesco Piemontesi—a pianist whose sensibility, intellect, and musicality permeate every phrase he shapes.
Ravel’s “Ma mère l’Oye” shimmered through the hall. The Piano Concerto dazzled with a kaleidoscope of colours. Gershwin’s “An American in Paris” stirred the energy between us and the audience. It was an evening we’ll remember ✨
Alla prossima, Francesco!

Die Harfe assoziiert man meist mit himmlischen Klängen, was natürlich wunderbar zu Weihnachten passt.✨
Dass in dem Instrument jedoch ein ungleich größerer Reichtum an Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten steckt, beweist das Adventskonzert mit Weltstar Xavier de Maistre und den Festival Strings Lucerne. 🕯️🎶 Seid dabei!
