Conductor Stanislava Nankova leads the Liederkranz-Concordia Choir with an ad hoc symphony orchestra, featuring soloists Fanny Utiger (soprano), Oscar Esmerode (tenor) and Sacha Michon (baritone). The programme juxtaposes operatic arias by Puccini, Boito and Mascagni with sacred and Classical choral pages by Mozart, tracing a path between darkness and light. The music alternates visceral verismo intensity and luminous choral spirituality, creating a dramatic, emotionally charged sound world that pivots between suffering and hope.

Conductor Eva Ollikainen leads a programme juxtaposing contemporary and romantic Finnish voices with international mastery. Soprano Anu Komsi and cellist Lionel Cottet join the orchestra for Kaija Saariaho’s Mirage, Jean Sibelius’s Fantasia The Daughter of Pohjola and the symphonic poem Luonnottar, and Tchaikovsky’s deeply expressive Sixth Symphony, the ‘Pathétique’. The evening unfolds through rich orchestral colours, luminous vocal writing and a sweeping narrative arc.

Conceived as a tribute to Luciano Pavarotti, this opera gala reunites the Orchestra Filarmonica Pugliese under the baton of Plácido Domingo, with tenor Vittorio Grigolo and soprano Varduhi Khachatryan. The programme celebrates operatic lyricism and the golden-voiced tradition, alternating soaring arias and intimate duets. The focus is on vocal color, expressive phrasing and rich orchestral textures that frame dramatic peaks and quiet moments of nostalgia. The evening promises luminous virtuosity and deeply felt musical storytelling.

Stephan Eicher leads a luminous ensemble on vocals and guitar, joined by Martin Gallop (acoustic guitar, keyboards, vocals), Simon Gerber (bass, vocals), Tom Vanstiphout (acoustic and electric guitars, vocals) and Tommy Baldu (drums). Across a career of over forty years his distinctive voice and stylistic versatility move between chanson, rock and subtle pop textures, blending languages and moods. Sparse arrangements and warm instrumental colours create an intimate, reflective atmosphere that invites close listening and emotional resonance.

Camané, a leading figure of contemporary fado, offers an intimate, lyric-driven performance where voice shapes narrative and silence becomes breath. His elegant restraint and deep attention to lyrics bring out melancholy, memory and light. Joined by José Manuel Neto (Portuguese guitar), Carlos Manuel Proença (acoustic guitar) and Paulo Paz (double bass), the quartet builds precise arrangements and rich textures that balance tradition and renewal. The result is a suspended, inward musical journey of subtle intensity.
