Michele Mariotti returns to lead the Orchestra Haydn di Bolzano e Trento in a programme dedicated to Strauss and Mahler. Joined by soprano Hasmik Torosyan, Mariotti guides the orchestra through two works that combine orchestral colour with moments of reflection and lyricism.

The programme features Richard Strauss’ Vier letzte Lieder, one of the composer’s final masterpieces, followed by Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 in G major for large orchestra and soprano solo — a score that moves between intimacy and luminous orchestral writing.

Join us on 16 June at 8pm at the Teatro Comunale in Bolzano. The concert will be repeated on 17 June at 8:30pm at the Auditorium in Trento.

Together with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Fabio Luisi leads a programme that moves from reflection and introspection to the brilliance and humour of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 8 — a work Luisi describes as one of Beethoven’s most inventive and witty symphonies, full of unexpected ideas and subtle irony.

Nicolò Foron joins the Ensemble Intercontemporain for New York, New York, a programme dedicated to the music of Steve Reich.

Through Different Trains and City Life, the concert explores how memory, speech and urban sounds can be transformed into musical structure and rhythm.

In Different Trains, Reich contrasts personal childhood memories with the historical reality of deportation trains during World War II, using recorded voices and repeating patterns to create a restrained and powerful musical narrative. City Life brings the sounds of New York into the concert hall — sirens, voices and street noise become part of the orchestral texture, reflecting the pulse of the modern city.

Join us on 11 June at 8pm at the Alhambra - Grande Salle, Geneve ✨
