Marc Sway
Swiss Orchestra
Lena-Lisa Wüstendörfer, conductor
On the second evening of “The Bash”, Marc Sway and the full Swiss Orchestra will bridge the gap between pop and classical orchestral music, celebrating traditions and drawing on a whole range of emotions and sound colours. Besides songs by Sway himself – which he’ll be performing with a symphony orchestra for the first-ever time – our audience can look forward to classical works by Beethoven, Dvořák and Villa-Lobos – plus a little surprise.
SYMPHONY CONCERT
Thomas Hampson, baritone
Swiss Orchestra
Lena-Lisa Wüstendörfer, conductor
The American baritone Thomas Hampson and the Swiss Orchestra will perform Wunderhorn Songs by Gustav Mahler and Three Watercolours by George Templeton Strong, a US composer based in Geneva. The programme also features works by Schubert, Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Joachim Raff (a native son of Canton Schwyz). Altogether, this concert weaves a tapestry of stories all about the big topics of love, longing, Nature, freedom – and transience.
NEW YEAR’S CONCERT
Valentine Michaud, saxophone
Swiss Orchestra
Lena-Lisa Wüstendörfer, conductor
Our New Year’s Concert is focused on the saxophone. Together with the Swiss Orchestra, Valentine Michaud will present a varied programme to start 2027 with a musical bang – and they’ll naturally be including several New Year’s classics.
A CONCERT FOR VALENTINE’S DAY
Olga Scheps, piano
Swiss Orchestra
Lena-Lisa Wüstendörfer, conductor
What could be lovelier on the day of love than celebrating the idea that great music can spring from great love? A love sometimes romantic, at others platonic, or even tragic. In our Valentine’s Day Concert, the pianist Olga Scheps and the Swiss Orchestra will reveal the inspirational power of love through works by Schumann and Brahms.
SYMPHONY CONCERT
Fazıl Say, piano
Swiss Orchestra
Lena-Lisa Wüstendörfer, conductor
The pianist Fazıl Say performs two piano concertos by Mozart, accompanied by the Swiss Orchestra under the baton of Lena-Lisa Wüstendörfer. Their programme will be rounded off – true to the traditions of the Swiss Orchestra – with two little-known late-Romantic gems from Switzerland itself.
SWISS ORCHESTRA SOLOISTS
Swiss Orchestra Soloists
Sherniyaz Mussakhan, Jana Ozolina, Matthias Bruns & Emanuele Zanforlin, violins
Ladislau Cristian Andris & Sylvia Zucker, violas
Sarah Weilenmann & Gunta Abele, cellos
Eight string instruments, two octets, one concert hall: The Swiss Orchestra Soloists play works by Joachim Raff and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy in which eight players can almost rival the opulence of a full string orchestra.
FROM THE ALPHORN TO NEOCLASSICISM
Lisa Stoll, alphorn
Yuki Hirano, violin
Swiss Orchestra
Lena-Lisa Wüstendörfer, conductor
As the highpoint of our “Festival of Music”, we’re exploring the boundaries of classical music itself. The alphorn player Lisa Stoll will be joining the Swiss Orchestra to present Swiss folk melodies and music by Leopold Mozart, while the violinist Yuki Hirano will offer an embarrassment of riches with a neoclassical work and a virtuosic Carmen Fantasy. The “Festival of Music” will bring all-day performances to Andermatt Reussen in a myriad of musical styles.
