Matthias Pintscher at Lucerne, BBC Proms and Beyond

Composer and conductor Matthias Pintscher is an indispensible figure in the contemporary music landscape, and this summer finds him present at many major international festivals. In August, Pintscher begins his first season as Principal Conductor of the Lucerne Festival Academy. During the festival, Pintscher conducts a performance of a major new work by Olga Neuwirth—Le Encantadas o le avventure nel mare delle meraviglie—which had its premiere at the Holland Festival in June.

On August 21, Pintscher leads the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, with whom he is Artist-in-Association, in a performance of his cello concerto Reflections on Narcissus at the BBC Proms with soloist Alisa Weilerstein.

Also this summer, Pintscher conducts the Mahler Academy Bolzano in a performance of his violin concerto Mar’eh, with soloist Diego Tosi, on July 26 and 27. On August 12, Pintscher leads the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in a Boulez Celebration concert, featuring performances of Pierre Boulez’s Don (Pli selon pli, No. 1) and Memoriale (explosante fixe). The performance takes place at Usher Hall in Edinburgh as part of the Edinburgh International Festival.
