Swiss Orchestra becomes Andermatt's house orchestra
Lena-Lisa Wüstendörfer's Swiss Orchestra will become the resident orchestra of the Andermatt Concert Hall. The Swiss conductor will also take over the directorship of Andermatt Music from January 1, 2022.
As the new resident orchestra of the Andermatt Concert Hall, the Swiss Orchestra combines Swiss symphonic music with repertoire works. The orchestra is accompanied by renowned soloists. Members of the orchestra now also perform in chamber music concerts.
From January 1, 2022, the Swiss conductor and musicologist Lena-Lisa Wüstendörfer will take over the concert operations of Andermatt Music on behalf of Andermatt Swiss Alps. This means that concerts will take place in the alpine concert hall all year round. The artistic strategy with three program levels is planned for at least five years. The existing artistic director team from England will continue to be responsible for the current programs until the end of 2021.
Andermatt Swiss Alps will also become a platform for local music, with performances by bands from Uri and classical family concerts. The "Young Artists" format to promote young artists will be continued. Finally, international orchestras, conductors and soloists will perform in Andermatt.
