The Opening Concert of this year’s Summer Festival is dedicated to the great pianist and composer Sergei Rachmaninoff. “When I visited Senar Villa, obviously it was a deep emotion for me to start with. To see his piano where legendary pianists — not only the great composer — sat for so many hours and so many years was of course very meaningful to me.” (Riccardo Chailly, Music Director Lucerne Festival Orchestra)
