LUCERNE FESTIVAL Music Camp, 2019
“Superar” means “to conquer, to prevail.” And this is precisely what the summer Music Camp, which LUCERNE FESTIVAL is offering in its third edition in collaboration with Superar Suisse, is all about. Young musicians – singers, instrumentalists, and, for the first time this year, dancers as well – will gather together for a week on Lake Lucerne to rehearse a program under the guidance of conductor Gerald Wirth and numerous tutors. They will then perform it during the opening weekend in the grand KKL Lucerne Concert Hall. The young participants become immersed in the creative Festival atmosphere, meet musicians from the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA (who will be rehearsing their own concerts at the same time), and become better acquainted with each other through both daily sessions and excursions to the surrounding area. In short, making music together motivates them to overcome boundaries and to prevail. In an open-air performance on the Europaplatz, the Chorus and Orchestra of the LUCERNE FESTIVAL Music Camp will present excerpts from this year’s program immediately before the official Opening Concert of the Summer Festival.
