We'll spend this week in Switzerland with concerts from festivals featuring local and visiting groups. Plus music from one of the most representative ensembles in the country, the Orchestra della Svizzera italiana, based in Lugano. We start at the Lucerne Festival 2019 with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra under the baton of Jakub HrΕ―Ε‘a.
