Due to a sudden illness, soprano Hanna-Elisabeth Müller will unfortunately be unable to perform on Friday, October 4th, with the Orchestra della Svizzera italiana, conducted by Markus Poschner, in the concert where she was scheduled to be the featured soloist in Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 4. Her place will be taken by a highly acclaimed Swiss artist, soprano Regula Mühlemann.

Big names, top-quality programme

The 79th edition of the Settimane Musicali di Ascona, scheduled from 31 August to 8 October 2024, promises to be of the highest artistic quality, with a programme that brings together prestigious debuts and welcome returns, great symphony orchestras and acclaimed soloists.

Given the success of last year's edition, free admission for young people to all concerts of the Settimane Musicali is confirmed again this year.  The initiative is aimed at involving young people and promoting a passion for music among the younger generation.  A warm invitation to participate is also extended to schools.
