Wolfgang Rihm (*1952) 
Dis-Kontur for large orchestra

The day after their final concert in Lucerne, the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ALUMNI will head to the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie to perform under Riccardo Chailly, joined by two principals from the ranks of the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA. The theme of Chailly’s program might be “Departure.” In 1909 Arnold Schoenberg ventured to take the leap into free atonality with an extremely condensed, expressive music in his Five Pieces for Orchestra, Op. 16. Alexander Mosolov, who was later sentenced to forced labor in the gulag under Stalin, represents the Soviet musical avant-garde of the 1920s: his famous The Iron Foundry transforms the orchestra into a gigantic, rhythmically pounding machine and the concert hall into a factory. With works such as Dis-Kontur, Wolfgang Rihm showed that it was still possible to initiate a revolution in the 1970s, when his direct, emotional musical language met with outraged rejection from the dogmatists of new music. Finally, Chailly’s compatriot Bruno Maderna will evoke the sound of the ancient Greek aulos with the free-flowing melody of his double concerto.

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.
