The interest of our listeners was overwhelming when, after more than ten years without public appearances, concerts finally took place again, starting in the summer 2022. It motivated people in large numbers to make the effort to travel from all corners of the globe to the Vollenweider concerts, once again on 8 and 9 October 2023 at the KKL Lucerne. See an excerpt here.
But what is it about Andreas Vollenweider's music that touches the hearts of millions around the globe, maintaining its profound significance for over four decades? In a world that has seen countless changes throughout all these years, his music remains a steadfast beacon of hope and confidence, which is especially needed in our turbulent times.
The legendary album "Caverna Magica" from 1983 forms the framework of the current programme, which will be complemented by the most significant songs from all of Vollenweider's works.
Once again, the excellent musicians will unleash the magic of this music: touching, intimate, emotional, peaceful, fascinatingly unusual, from feather-light to stirringly virtuosic, soothing and powerful at the same time... Immersing ourselves in this unique world of sound rekindles positive energy and motivation. And this is precisely what Andreas Vollenweider and his music became world-famous for.
