We are delighted to present you the StradivariFEST «Winter sounds at Lake Zurich» of season 2019/2020. For the great jubilee year 2020 of Ludwig van Beethoven, we also deal with his great work! We would like to bring you closer to the unique way of expressing and to the versatile musical language of his chamber music literature in our very personal way.

We are really proud of a new component in the winter sounds: we present you a prelude before each concert. This will be a very special "live" introduction to the respective concert evening, led by famous journalist personalities from the Swiss classical music scene. In Herrliberg and Zurich, this introduction is designed especially for children. Of course, adults are also welcome.

As usual, we would like to end each of the concerts with a drink together. We have now found an aperitif sponsor: The young company Dreistand vom Zürichsee will be concerned for the physical well-being of the concert visitors. We thank them very much and welcome them in our Stradivari circle! We also continue the artist dinner: please book directly at the respective restaurant with the note "StradivariTISCH".

An occasion is especially close to my heart: On May 10, 2020, we celebrate Mother's Day with the integral performance of Beethoven's 5 Cello Sonatas in the monastery Einsiedeln. In between, we invite you to an Apéro riche with integrated "Prélude".

Dear chamber music lovers, we are looking forward to the new season with concerts around Lake Zurich. The exchange with you, our loyal guests and – through his music – of course also with Beethoven will definitely be a great experience both for you and for us!
