On 14 December Case Scaglione makes his Swiss debut with the Luzerner Sinfonieorchester. The American-themed programme features Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess Suite and Rhapsody in Blue with pianist Khatia Buniatishvili, Barber’s Adagio for Strings and closes with Dvořák’s American Suite.
The performance follows Scaglione’s recent success with the New York Philharmonic, where critics described him as the “star of the night” (Concerto.net). Earlier this year, he conducted an all-American programme with the Hong Kong Philharmonic, where he returns later this season for Shostakovich’s Symphony No.11.
