Tamara Stefanovich to replace Viktoria Postnikova
The organisers of the Settimane Musicali di Ascona are sorry to have to inform you that Viktoria Postnikova will not be able to play the eagerly awaited recital scheduled for this Monday, 25 September, at 7.30 p.m. in the Collegio Papio church. The great lady of the piano, 79 years old, informed us today, Sunday, that she has fallen ill and will therefore not be able to give the concert. |
The Settimane Musicali management wishes a speedy recovery to the artist, now living in Montreux, and announces that Viktoria Postnikova will be replaced by the acclaimed pianist Tamara Stefanovich, an artist who fascinates cosmopolitan audiences with her highly elaborate recital programmes, but also as a chamber musician and soloist in the world's leading orchestras. |

Free admission to all concerts for students and apprentices
The Musical Weeks of Ascona are pleased to announce an important innovation, namely free admission to all concerts of this edition for students and apprentices up to 26 years old. Depending on seat availability, interested individuals can obtain their ticket for free on the evening of the concert directly at the box office by presenting their student or apprentice card. |
Schools (middle schools, high schools, universities, and music schools) are also invited to participate as groups. In this case, teachers are invited to collect registrations and make a reservation by contacting the organizers 24 hours before the concert at the email address: info@settimane-musicali.ch or by phone at +41 91 759 76 65. Accompanying teachers also benefit from free admission. The goal of this initiative is to spread and promote the beauty and importance of music among young people by offering them a unique opportunity for inspiration and growth. This year's program particularly highlights the energy and creativity of young musicians, who are called to perform not only in the "Début" series dedicated to future stars but also in the main program.
