When the Russian pianist Arcadi Volodos emerged into the spotlight in the 1990s with wildly virtuosic piano transcriptions, the press anointed him the “new Horowitz.” However much that was an honor for him, his everyday life from then on became just as exhausting. “For 17 years, I did nothing but travel. It was always just hotel, airport, concert hall. I got to see nothing else.” But Volodos assessed the situation and drastically reduced his number of concerts, from 200 to 50 a year, concentrating on Europe and imposing a regimen of slowing down and weeks to himself to recharge his batteries. This therapy had a very welcome effect on his art as well. He now works with more nuanced repertoire, such as the filigree miniatures of the Spanish composer Federico Mompou and the austere late work of Johannes Brahms. And the results are quite impressive. His album Volodos Plays Brahms received a Gramophone award, the Diapason d’or, and the Edison Klassiek in 2018. Volodos now returns to LUCERNE FESTIVAL after a 14-year hiatus with a double portrait of two very different Romantics, Liszt and Schumann.

Venue Info

KKL Luzern - Lucerne
Location   Europaplatz 1

KKL Luzern’s spectacular architecture designed by Pritzker Prize winner Jean Nouvel and the quality of its facilities set this venue apart from more traditional culture and convention centres. Its trade-mark is the common theme of culture, conferences and culinary choices – the complete experience orchestrated under the famous roof. The building is situated in the heart of Switzerland, only one hour by train from Zurich Airport, within walking distance of Lucerne’s finest hotels and a few sheltered steps from the international railway station. It is the perfect venue for your next premium event, such as product launches, anniversary celebrations and award ceremonies, high-profile meetings, receptions and banquets.

Concert Hall
The showpiece of the KKL Luzern is its renowned Concert Hall with 1,898 seats and acoustics that provide incredible sound and inspire the world’s leading conductors, orchestras and soloists to perform at their best.

Conventions
The outstanding Concert Hall with its multifunctional usage, is also an exciting possibility for conventions. A wide screen is hidden above the stage and may be lowered for awards, product presentations and other events. Interpreting booths and excellent infrastructure are at hand for a most memorable convention or meeting or live television broadcast.

Two water canals frame the Lucerne Hall, a venue that is also unique in its adaptability and convertible for 200 up to 1,800 guests. It can be used for a variety of settings including product presentations, congresses, concerts and banquets. With its appropriate audiovisual facilities, variable height staging and mobile rostrum, all combined with the deliberately simple design of the hall, the organizer will find creative freedom to style the event.

The Auditorium for up to 271 listeners, too, is equipped with state-of-the-art congress installations and, like the Lucerne Hall, provides an attractive setting for conferences. Event organizers are also increasingly discovering the Crystal Lounge, the attractive meeting point in the KKL Luzern. It boasts an oval-shaped bar that can be moved around the space, allowing for maximum flexibility and turning the lounge into a premier events venue.

Culinary experiences
The cuisine facilities of the KKL Luzern offer organizers and guests all kinds of catering options and total culinary experiences. Packages and offers – such as refreshing time-outs, cocktail receptions for networking, stand-up lunches, seated dinners or exclusive lounge experiences – can be tailored to the organizer’s specific needs.
