Victoria Hall is a prominent concert hall housed in a majestic neoclassical building. This historic venue is celebrated for its exceptional acoustics, making it a favored destination for music enthusiasts. While occasionally featuring other musical genres, Victoria Hall remains predominantly dedicated to the world of classical music.
The Sunday Concerts at Victoria Hall feature “Coro” by Lucian Berio, performed by the students of the HEM, the Ensemble Contrechamps, and the Zürcher Sing-Akademie choir under the baton of Emilio Pomarico. This monumental work for 40 voices and orchestra redefines the orchestral setup and serves as both a political and musical manifesto, weaving together folk songs and poetic texts.
As part of the “Les Grands Interprètes” series, renowned pianist Martha Argerich and acclaimed violinist Renaud Capuçon will perform together. Their program features an exquisite selection, including Robert Schumann’s Violin Sonata No. 2 in D minor, Ludwig van Beethoven’s Violin Sonata No. 10 in G major, and César Franck’s Violin Sonata in A major.
The orchestra, led by Nicholas Collon, will perform at Victoria Hall, offering a captivating program. The evening features John Coolidge Adams’ “Short Ride in a Fast Machine,” Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” with pianist Hayato Sumino, and Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring,”. This promises to be a powerful musical experience.

The Sunday Concerts at Victoria Hall introduce “Am Ang Klung Klang,” an immersive project by the Ensemble Batida centered on Indonesian Gamelan.

Delving into the hybridization of traditional, electronic, and experimental sounds, the musicians create a liberating journey where each individual can become absorbed in the enveloping soundscape.
