The Lucerne Symphony Orchestra under its Chief Conductor Michael Sanderling made its last guest visit to Grafenegg in 2022, while the violinist Daniel Lozakovich enjoys his Grafenegg debut in 2025. He first proved his extraordinary talent at the age of seven; just two years later he debuted with the Moscow Virtuosi. His birth in Stockholm in 2001 may not seem very long ago, but he’s already one of the most remarkable violinists of our time. For his first Grafenegg performance he has chosen Jean Sibelius’s Violin Concerto, one of a number of awe-inspiring works from the early 20th century that quickly took up an established place in the repertoire. Tchaikovsky’s Fourth, performed after the interval, has its memorable themes and emphatic musical language to thank for its place as one of the most-played symphonies of the second half of the 19th century.
