KKL - the festival venue

Music Celebrations International is pleased to announce the Lucerne International Choral Festival, July 3-7, 2007. The festival will be a combined choir under the direction of Dr. Eph Ehly accompanied by full orchestra in the outstanding Kultur-und-Kongresszentrum Luzern (Lucerne’s Culture and Convention Center [KKL] – see picture). Switzerland will also be a great starting point for a longer European tour which could include extensions into other parts of Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany and France.

The festival will feature outstanding SATB choirs from across the United States who will in their participation pay tribute to Dr. Ehly in a year where he will be celebrating his 70th birthday. The concert repertoire is not yet solidified, but Eph’s current thoughts are opening with Te Deum in C by Haydn, closing with Elsa’s Procession to the Cathedral by Wagner and between performing works such as Brahms’ Nanie, Mozart’s Vesperae Solennes de Confessore, Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms, Puccini’s Messa di Gloria or Hanson’s Song of Democracy.
