The event is followed by a wine reception. 

ABOUT LGT YOUNG SOLOISTS

The award-winning string ensemble LGT Young Soloists (sponsored by LGT Private Banking) is made up of highly talented young soloists between the ages of 13 and 23 from over 20 nations. Since its founding in 2013 by violinist and pedagogue Alexander Gilman, the LGT Young Soloists have established themselves as one of the leading and most touring youth orchestras worldwide. This is primarily due to their unique concept: exceptional young musicians perform as soloists with their own orchestra, accompany each other, and share their passion for music. The orchestra has performed in the Berlin Konzerthaus, the Vienna Musikverein, the Mozarteum Salzburg, and the Victoria Hall Singapore among others.
