I wanted to entrust him with the leadership of the Lucerne Festival Academy, as successor to his teacher Wolfgang Rihm. I could not imagine anyone better than Jörg for this challenging task. He has an enormous knowledge of music history and the generosity of spirit to present a wide variety of styles —quite independently of his own compositional aesthetic —and to reflect what is currently happening in the new music scene.  \nIn November 2026, Jörg Widmann will also lead Lucerne Festival Forward, our extended weekend devoted to contemporary music. We soon agreed to develop the existing format further and to add new points of emphasis. We will have our first concert in Vitznau’s acoustically outstanding chamber music hall, where Jörg Widmann will perform with pianist András Schiff and violist Antoine Tamestit. We will also use the KKL Lucerne Concert Hall in a somewhat different way than usual. In Johanna Summer’s Late Night event, for example, the audience will sit both onstage and in the organ loft, creating an especially intimate setting. You can also experience Jörg Widmann’s brilliance as a communicator when he gives a lecture at the piano. The topic is Robert Schumann and his influence on contemporary music, with many musical examples.  \nAnd that brings us to the underlying programmatic idea. We have named the 2026 edition of Forward “Echoes of Schumann.” We want to bridge the gap between the old and the new, to show how modern Schumann was and how much today’s generation can still benefit from him. Because without the past, there is no future.  \nWe look forward to seeing you.  \nWarmly,  \n“THE FUTURE NEEDS A PAST”  \n“Echoes of Schumann”: Jörg Widmannon his first Forward Festival  \nJörg Widmann, this year you became Artistic Director of the Lucerne Festival Academy, and you are also helming Lucerne Festival Forward, the fall festival focused on new music. You have kept the name but added a programmatic subtitle: “Echoes of Schumann.”“Forward”points to the future, while “Echoes” suggests resonances from the past. How do the two concepts fit together?  \nJörg Widmann: They are not mutually exclusive. Quite the opposite: they depend on each other. When I speak with my colleague Helmut Lachenmann, for example, it’s normal for us to discuss new  \ndevelopments in music, but we also talk a great deal about Schubert. Or take Arnold Schoenberg, who revolutionized music history as few others have — perhaps only Beethoven. Schoenberg always made a point of saying that, in essence, he was doing nothing different from Johannes Brahms. So the question is: where do we come from and where are we headed? Is the music of the past still relevant tous? How do we, as people living today, respond to what already exists? These are all important questions. As the philosopher Odo Marquard so aptly put it: “The future needs a past.”  \nYou are not the only one in whose work Robert Schumann resonates. At the Forward Festival, audiences will also hear echoes of Schumann in music by György Kurtág, Heinz Holliger, Christian Jost, and Aribert Reimann. How do you explain Schumann’s powerful hold on us today? I think it has to do with the fractured, torn quality of his music: one moment ecstatic, the next plunged into despair. As Charles Baudelaire put it: The abyss hovers above him. It is this sense of the abyss that still makes Schumann so compelling — because it is mod","cbCairBgyqHbzNvc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairBgyqHbzNvc","pdf",2859539,24,"English","# Welcome to Lucerne Festival Forward\n## Leadership and the Lucerne Festival Academy\n## November 2026 focus: Forward and performance venues\n## Programmatic idea: “Echoes of Schumann”\n## Interview: Jörg Widmann and the future needs a past","[{\"question\":\"What is the theme of the Forward 2026 edition?\",\"answer\":\"The 2026 edition of Forward is named “Echoes of Schumann,” aiming to connect the past and the present and show Schumann’s modern relevance.\"},{\"question\":\"Who leads Lucerne Festival Forward in November 2026?\",\"answer\":\"Jörg Widmann will lead Lucerne Festival Forward, the extended weekend devoted to contemporary music.\"},{\"question\":\"Where does the program place emphasis through concerts and events?\",\"answer\":\"The program includes performances in Vitznau’s chamber music hall, use of the KKL Lucerne Concert Hall in new formats, and a Late Night event where the audience sits onstage and in the organ loft.\"}]","FORWARD 2026 - Echoes of Schumann - Program | PDF",1791017768]
