The AROSA Cultural Summer impresses with its wide range of activities

Andreas Haefliger is recognized for his sensitivity, musical insight and transcendent piano playing. Known for his innovative programming, he brings an all-encompassing passion and humanity to his concert performances and recordings. The piano recital will be followed by "Uri inspires - Beethoven triumphs". The 40-minute music film by Graubünden filmmaker Daniel von Aarburg shows how Andreas Haefliger explores Ludwig van Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata in the mountains of Uri during the "Corona period".

Young talents from the Conservatorio della Svizzera italiana Lugano will be performing in Arosa on June 27 as a kind of "pre-opening". "Romanticism? Romanticism!" could be the title of their program. In this concert, they will present works that they have practiced during a rehearsal week offered by AROSA Kultur. The concert will also be performed in Cham on June 28 and in Lugano on June 29. 

The long-standing tradition of opera performances will continue this year. Operetta Ardez will be a guest in Arosa. They call their latest production "Teater musical sotto le stelle dans le quatre Landessprachen", freely adapted from Engelbert Humperdinck's opera "Hänsel und Gretel" in a new guise with music by G. Bizet, F. Lehar, Mani Matter, canzun rumantschas, Cat Stevens and others.

Also to be heard: A "jazzy" saxophone combo from Bern "klapparat", a folk music encounter concert with the "Jodelclub Hochwang" from Landquart and the "Brandhölzler Striichmusig", a formation from Toggenburg Children's concerts have always been an integral part of the AROSA Summer of Culture. On five Mondays from July 8, various theater groups, musicians and puppeteers enchant children's hearts, parents, godparents and nanis with their performances. 

The Bergkirchlikon concerts are almost legendary. Every Tuesday at five o'clock, musicians perform in the 531-year-old chapel at 1900 meters above sea level. 

Readings and an art lecture on Augusto Giacometti round off the varied program.

When the weather is fine, many of the events take place on the magical forest stage in Arosa.
