Cultural diversity on the Central Plateau
Sebastian Bohren founded the "Stretta Concerts" around 15 years ago. The performing orchestras from Switzerland and neighboring countries mainly give concerts in the reformed town church in Brugg.
According to a press release from Stretta Concerts at the start of the 22/23 season on September 17, the concert series is firmly anchored in the cultural life of the canton of Aargau and aims to establish itself as a Swiss-wide platform for classical music. The program for the new season includes the Zurich Chamber Orchestra with Daniel Hope and the Orchestra della Svizzera italiana under the direction of Heinz Holliger with Sebastian Bohren as the soloist in Béla Bartók's first violin concerto.
Instead of an entrance fee, a collection will be taken to welcome every audience and all classical music fans. Sebastian Bohren, was awarded the "Golden Bow" by the Swiss Violin Making School Foundation this summersays: "Even without admission prices and subscriptions, we have a loyal regular audience that has almost subscribed to us. The Stretta Concerts have become an integral part of concert life in Central Switzerland and are firmly anchored in our audience's agenda".
