On 30 August Elim Chan makes her debut at the Lucerne Festival conducting the Orchestra of the Lucerne Festival Academy in a programme featuring John Adams’ The Chairman Dances, Saariaho’s Terra Memoria for String Orchestra and Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra.

The concert takes place at the KKL Luzern and forms part of this year’s ​‘prima la donna’ Festival theme.

Having just been named as a Dudamel Fellow of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, next season will also see Chan debut with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Luxembourg and Detroit and Chicago symphonies, as well as return to the Hong Kong Philharmonic.
