The Presenza Festival Returns with the OSI & Sol Gabetta at the LAC

Returning to Lugano is star cellist Sol Gabetta, who will be at the LAC at the end of May for the second edition of the "Presenza" Festival, over the Whitsun weekend. This grand project will see her in a starring role in two spectacular symphony concerts together with the Orchestra della Svizzera italiana and their Principal Conductor Markus Poschner, not to mention the famous violinist Isabelle Faust, focusing on concertos by Schumann and Brahms.

The Festival’s idea is to offer the public new ways of enjoying concerts, drawing inspiration from the original circumstances in which the pieces were composed as well as taking max-imum account of the scenic and theatrical components of the performance.
